Hi all,

I need to print labels on this kind of paper: - A4 page with 24 labels (70mm x 36mm) - 3 columns and 8 rows - 4.5mm top margin, 4.5mm bottom margin

I use:

\definepapersize[DECAdry-70x36][width=70mm,height=36mm] \setuppapersize[DECAdry-70x36][A4] \setuppaper[nx=3,ny=8] \setuparranging[XY]

I just need to know how to reserve a vertical white space (4.5mm) from the top of the A4 page and put all my labels side-by-side (vertically and horizontally).

Renaud

I hope that the following solution, which I use for making adres-labels kan give you the answer: The key for reserving the white space is the veroffset= option.
