Default Printing at Kinkos, quick question

EDIT***

All those who use Photoshop and would like an easy way to add multiple labels per printed page and be ready for either your own printer or Kinkos....


Make your label in Photoshop with an "image size" equal to what you want the label to be. For mine, I chose 3"x5" because I felt it covered an appropriate amount of the bottle. Once your image is made, save as a Jpeg and open the Jpeg in photoshop. Under "file" select "automate" and then "picture package". This will give you the opportunity to select a premade layout OR edit the current layout. None of the premade layouts matched what I needed so opted to edit the layout. Selected 8.5" x 11" paper size. Deleted all current zones, which started me a blank page. I then added 4 zones equal to the size of my labels - 3x5. I positioned away from the edges of the page and with enough space to cut them out between. I then selected a resolution of 300 DPI (at least 200 for non blurry images). I said ok and when the layout was made (automated), I test printed. It looked perfect so I saved as a "PDF" file. I will bring this Kinkos and print the PDF as many pages as I need, 4 labels per page.

Save your file as a .PDF, that will work. If your program has the option to, save it with as many scans as you can. It takes longer, but gives you a better image quality.
