Acoustica CD/DVD Label Maker - Manual (Page 24)

The "Stretch Labels" section:
If your printer doesn't align correctly, but isn't consistent about it, you can correct it by using the
brute force method of stretching all the labels by a millimeter or two, which will result in the
label being slightly larger in every direction. So even if your printer prints too high one pass,
and too low the next, or likes to feint left and print right, you'll be set.
We generally recommend setting the stretch labels amount at one to two millimeters. We also
recommend that you don't put important stuff, such as text, within a millimeter or so of your
label borders or the CD hole unless you have a fabulously reliable printer, because otherwise it
stands a good chance of getting chopped off when you print it.
But don't stretch plain-paper labels: This checkbox lets you specify whether or not you want
to apply your stretch settings to labels you print on plain paper. By default, this box will be
checked, which is our recommendation. The stretch labels settings are designed to overcome
problems with your printer's alignment so that you can fit labels onto premade forms. But since
plain paper doesn't have any pre-perforated labels that you need to line your labels up with,
stretching isn't necessary, and in fact will only make your labels bigger than they need to be.
