About
Ever needed to print just one label, say on column 2 row 4 of a label sheet?
Aetiket Label Printer makes it easy to print labels of various types and sizes anywhere on a label sheet: one at a time, in small batches, or whole pages at once.
Most software packages provide templates for printing labels using various merge and printing features. However, as virtually all printers have moved away from the older tractor feed (dot matrix) printing method to sheet feed (ink jet or laser) printing, it has become more difficult to print just one or a small batch of labels.
Aetiket Label Printer enables users to specify precisely which and how many labels of a label sheet to print, thereby permitting the more efficient use of label sheets.
Aetiket Label Printer can be used as a stand-alone solution, or linked with other FileMaker Pro databases to provide enhanced label printing output.

• English/French bilingual version is available.
• Free contacts database to store frequently used address and label information.
