Collecting cases: label preview looks correct but physical print is shifted

We are collecting real-world cases where the processed PDF preview looks correct, but the physical label print is shifted, offset, cut off, or not centered on the thermal label paper.

中文说明:这个 issue 用来收集“预览正常,但实际打印偏移/裁掉/不居中”的案例。

What we are trying to understand

This problem is often caused by printer-side settings rather than the PDF itself, but the symptoms can look very similar to a file layout issue.

We want to understand:

  • Which printer models are affected
  • Which paper sizes are selected in the browser and printer driver
  • Whether the issue happens after PDF resizing or cropping
  • Whether the offset is consistent, such as always shifted right by 5 mm

Please share

  • Printer model, if relevant
  • Label paper size, such as 4 x 6 in or 100 x 150 mm
  • Browser and operating system
  • What the PDF preview shows
  • What happens on physical print
  • Whether the offset is horizontal, vertical, or both
  • Whether printing at 100% / Actual size changes the result

Privacy note

Please do not upload labels with private customer information.

If you share screenshots or sample PDFs, remove or mask names, addresses, phone numbers, tracking numbers, order numbers, and barcodes first.
