Move basically the entire label content, except for the footer, inside
the item function.
This results in a more simplified workflow for generating labels for
different items, since there's just one function call left where the
arguments need to be modified.

CCCHH Label Printer Templates

This repo contains some templates for the Brother QL-500 label printer.

Usage

The templates use typst (a LaTeX alternative) as typesetting engine. There are two versions:

  • label-wide: 60x35 mm for use with DK-22205 endless tape (DK-22205)
    • height could be adjusted, if needed, but keep in mind to change the paper size when printing
  • label-item: 38x90mm for use with DK-11208 pre-cut address labels

General Notes

  • Labels with CCCHH logo in the footer are meant for items owned by CCCHH.
  • The QL-500 does not have an automatic cutter, so it's recommended to only print one page at a time.
  • In order for typst to discover the font we use and bundle, you need to manually make typst aware of our fonts directory via e.g. the --font-path option.

Example Usage

To compile e.g. label-wide.typ, you can use the following command:

typst compile --font-path=./fonts label-wide.typ

Fonts Used

We're using and also bundling the Inter 4.0 font (see also the Inter Font Website). It was licensed under the SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1. A copy of the license can be found under: licenses/inter-4.0-font_OFL-1.1_license
