- 
-Spine or spine/pocket labels can be printed either directly from Evergreen to a continuous feed label printer, directly to a laser printer using sheets of labels, or by exporting data to a third party program. 
- 
-Spine and pocket label printing from Evergreen is functional on both Chrome and Firefox, but there are several unresolved issues surrounding label printing and Hatch. 
- 
-<note warning>At this time, we do not recommend you use Hatch for printing if you are printing labels.</note> 
- 
-Once you set up a spine label print template(s) that suits your label stock and printing needs, be sure to Export the template(s) to a backup location in case you ever need to restore it. Be sure to keep the exported templates up to date.

 +=== Moving the Call Number Down on the Spine Label ===
 +
 +You can use the 'Item Print Label - Inline CSS Field' to fine-tune some of the settings. For example, if you want your spine labels to start partway down the label rather than at the top of the label, you can add this text into the Inline CSS field:
 +
 +<nowiki>.spine{padding-top:30px}</nowiki>
 +
 +=== Different Font Size for Spine and Pocket Labels ===
 +
 +You can make the spine label have a different font-size from the pocket label by setting the regular font size using 'Item Print Label Font Size' and then using the 'Item Print Label - Inline CSS Field' like this (where 14pt is the desired font size):
 +
 +<nowiki>.spine{font-size:14pt;}</nowiki>
