# CCCHH Label Printer Templates
This repo contains some templates for the Brother QL-500 label printer.
## Usage
The templates use [typst](https://github.com/typst/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](https://github.com/rsms/inter/tree/v4.0) (see also the [Inter Font Website](https://rsms.me/inter/)).
