Your title strips come out as a PDF, so any color printer can print them, and so can any print shop. Here's how to get from your records to strips in the jukebox.
Make a print set
A print set is a batch of strips you print together, like "Top panel" or "July record show finds."
- Go to Print Sets and click Add Print Set.
- Choose Title strips (45s & 78s), give it a name, and pick your paper: Letter, Legal, Tabloid, A4 or A3.
- If your wallboxes need their own copy of each strip, turn on Print each strip twice.
- Printing on bought, perforated strip sheets? Set Print on to Pre-printed sheets and enter where the sheet's strips are. See Print on pre-printed title strip sheets.
Add your records
- From your collection: tick the records you want, then click Add to Print Set.
- From a jukebox layout: in Layout Studio, open the Print menu and choose Add to Print Set. Every record in the layout goes in. (Generate PDF in the same menu prints the layout straight away, without a print set.)
- Right after a photo import: click Add to Print Set at the top of the import.
The print set shows each page the way it will print. On the free plan, if the set uses Pro designs or fonts or has more than 50 strips, you can switch between Free version (what your PDF prints) and As designed (Pro).
Print at home
- Click Printable PDF and open the file.
- In the print window, choose Actual Size or 100%. "Fit to Page" shrinks the strips, and they won't fit your jukebox.
- Print one page on plain paper first and hold a strip against one from your machine. When it matches, print the rest on card stock.
Use the printer's best quality setting, and let the ink dry for a minute before you cut.

Print at a print shop
No color printer, or a big set? Any print counter (FedEx Office, Staples or your local print shop) can print the PDF, and so can online printers.
- Bring the PDF on a USB stick, or upload it to the shop's website.
- Ask for color, actual size (100%), on card stock. Tell them the size matters, so they don't scale it to fit the page.
- Many print counters have a paper cutter you can use while you're there.
Cut them out
Cut along the dashed lines. A paper trimmer gives straighter edges than scissors, and a small one costs about $10. Then slide the strips into the holders, and you're done.
