For the season
Festive, with or without a design.
Pick a design and an ink in the sheet above: it prints beside your address in simple line art, and the text moves over to fit. A photo or a picture of your own can't be added, and text alone can look the part too.
-
A design and an ink
Eight designs drawn for this site: a snowflake, an evergreen, holly, an ornament, a star, a gift, a wreath or a candle. The ink is black, cranberry, evergreen, navy or gold; the full editor can color the design alone.
-
A greeting on top
On 5195 or a larger sheet, a first line such as “Season's greetings from” sits above your name.
-
Serif lettering
The full editor sets the labels in Times, for the look of an engraved card.

Clear labels on a red envelope
Clear film lets the envelope's color show around your address. Same layouts: 5667 (laser), 15667 (laser), 8667 (inkjet) and 18667 (inkjet) for 5167; 15695 (laser), 18695 (inkjet) and 6520 (laser or inkjet) for 5195.
Three things that keep 5167 labels straight.
Feed the right side up
Printers differ: some print on the side facing up in the tray, others on the side facing down. Mark an X on a plain sheet, print once and look before you load labels.
Test on plain paper
Hold a plain-paper print over a 5167 sheet against a window. If it sits off, calibrate once and save the correction for that printer.
