Hello dear friends
I have the following problem.
I creat the PDF with my labels from log4om but when i start to print the labels while going down the printing on page are misaligned vertically .
The first row is ok , the 2nd is little more down the third even more etc etc . After 5 rows the labels are start two printed half on one label and half on the next...
Any ideas please ???

So little information!
What label stationary are you using?
What printer?
What Log4om label template have you selected?

Hi Apostolos,
I have had a similar situation. After checking, the problem were the measures I was using in a new label I was creating. If you permit firstly try to print using a common label to see if it works fine, if not, please check the measures you are using (in case you are creating a new label)

Hello der Friends
Sorry for little information.
I use laser printer LaserJet HP1022 -
Labels are in A4 sheet - Each sheet have 3 columns with 8 labels per column. Total 24 labels .
Each label is 70mm width and 37mm height.
The labels are the one next to the other without any gap , like a sheet of A4 paper that someone use a scalpel to separate the labels.
The 3-4 for rows from top are ok but like something happened and each label goes little more down so at row 6-7 etc the pse qsl goes to the next label and the next label more down etc...
I create my own label , the same problem , for some reason the first labels on the first rows are ok but progressively comes the disaster...
Any ideas my friends ???
P.S. I check printer setup , all are in A4 normal settings .
I go now for further tests,. if any idea pse help me in your spare time .

Did you try using the 'Corrective factor' as shown below - Change the vertical correction

Just try adding values and watch result on print
I always test on plain paper and then compare to labels by holding up to the light
