Adding an Image Object

You can use Image objects to add an image to any label type. You can choose to add clip art, your default logo, insert an image from the clipboard or a file on your device, capture an area of the desktop as an image, or take a photo using your device's camera.

You can use the following types of image files:

BMP

GIF

PNG

JPG

TIF

You can also import a PDF file and then crop and rotate the portion of the file you want to add as an image object on the label. For example, you might want to print a return shipping label sent to you as a PDF. See DYMO Connect for Desktop Help.

For best results, when you add one of your own images, make sure the image you are inserting is close to the size of the image that will appear on the label. For example, if you want to print your company logo on a shipping label, you should not import a logo image that is 5 x 7 inches. Also, take care when using a color image. When the image is converted to grayscale during printing, unexpected results may occur. Use black and white or grayscale images whenever possible.
