Some labels come within 0 in of the paper edge. Most home printers can't print the outer 1/8–1/4 in (3–6 mm), so keep text away from the outside edges.
The labels reach the sheet edges; most home printers leave about 1/8–1/4 in unprinted at the edges.
Pre-cut sheets vary slightly between makers and batches. Print the alignment test page on plain paper and hold it against your sheet before printing on labels.

Print it lined up

The test page draws only the outline of every label and a ruler. Print it on plain paper, hold it against your sheet in front of a window, and save a nudge for your printer if the outlines sit off the labels.

Print at Actual size (100%), not "Fit to page". Use plain paper first, then hold it against your label sheet in front of a window.
