Does anyone know how to print text and pictures on the index tabs that are

used in looseleaf binders? Do I need a special printer, or can the index

tabs be run manually through a printer?

    • There are very few, if any, printers that can do that. If you have a

      printer capable of printing A3 or 11 x 17, you may be able to feed the

      divider through the printer fixed to a sheet of that size paper and by

      fiddling around, get the print in the correct place.

      Hope this helps.

    • Hi-

      If you mean printing directly onto the tabs that are an integral part of the

      dividers, you would definitely need special equipment & software.

      Your best bet is to see if stick-on labels are available for the size you

      need or else use dividers that have the clear/colored plastic tabs for which

      you can get printable inserts. The printable tab labels/inserts come in

      standard paper sized sheets and have 'templates' available that handle your

      page set-up.

      Good Luck |:>)

    • If your printer is limited to the more usual letter-size page, buy

      adhesive labels that are sized to fit on the divider tabs. For

      example, look for Avery stock numbers 5266 or 5029. You'll find the

      5266 listed in the Options for the Labels dialog, and 5029 is the same

      size (but clear).

    • At one point Avery came out with some index dividers that were supposed to

      be printable; they had the tab portion folded in so that the entire thing

      was the size of a Letter-sized sheet of paper. I have a sample that I've

      never tried; it looked like an iffy proposition to me, and so it may have

      proved, as I don't recall having seen these in stores.
