How to Print an L3070 Label Template Without Boundary Lines in PDF
Question details
The user needs to print an L3070 label template without the visible black boundary lines appearing on the physical printout, while maintaining the exact document layout.
- Product
- PDF Reader
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Printing a pre-formatted label template (such as L3070) where layout guidelines are helpful on-screen but undesirable on the final printed label sheet.
- Observed behavior
- The black label boundaries print alongside the text, requiring the user to find a way to hide non-printing guides without modifying or breaking the template structure.
Ensure your printer is properly loaded with the correct L3070 label sheets and that you are using a PDF reader that supports advanced print layer or markup settings.
Adjust PDF Print Settings to Hide Non-Printing Guides
Use your PDF viewer's print settings to ensure only the document content prints, ignoring the visible layout boundaries or markups.
Many professional label templates include boundary lines as form fields, markups, or guides to help you align your text. Instead of deleting these lines manually—which might disrupt the layout—you can simply configure your PDF software to exclude them from the print job.
Open your L3070 label template PDF in your PDF reader and press Ctrl + P (Windows) or Cmd + P (Mac) to open the main Print dialog window.
Look for a section titled 'Comments & Forms', 'Print What', or 'Print Content' within the print properties interface.
Change the dropdown selection from 'Document and Markups' or 'Document and Stamps' to 'Document' only. This ensures that non-printing guides, form borders, and markups are not sent to the printer.
Ensure that 'Page Scaling' is set to 'Actual Size' or 'Custom Scale: 100%'. Do not use 'Fit to Page', as this will shrink the layout and cause your text to misalign with the physical L3070 labels.
Load a standard blank sheet of paper into your printer to do a test print. Hold the printed sheet up to the light against an actual label sheet to ensure perfect alignment without visible lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the template lines still printing even when I select 'Document' only?
If the boundary lines still print, they might have been flattened into the base PDF layer rather than added as a non-printing guide or interactive markup. In this case, you may need to open the original source file (like a Word document) to remove the table borders before exporting a fresh PDF.
Can I remove the label lines manually in a PDF editor?
Yes. If you have a premium PDF editing tool, you can select the individual line objects and delete them or change their stroke color to transparent. However, hiding them via print settings is recommended as it prevents accidental layout shifts during manual editing.
How do I ensure my text aligns perfectly with the L3070 labels?
Always set your page scaling to 'Actual Size', 'Default', or 'Custom Scale: 100%' in the print dialog. Ensure 'Fit to Page' or 'Shrink to Printable Area' is disabled, as scaling will inevitably misalign the text with the physical, pre-cut labels on the sheet.
