Labels are getting cut off slightly on right side

Labels are getting slightly cut off on the right side.  Sample: https://ibb.co/nCyVKQ6

I'm using a Zebra 4x6 inch thermal printer.  The same printer is used to print ebay labels and the right side fits.  I could manually scale the label in my web browser to 95% so it fits but the label printer is also used for other purposes and that requires changing the scale % frequently.

Etsy Developers: can you make an option under "Shipping Settings" -> "Shipping Label Options" to scale the label by a percentage?  I see you are using FPDF according to the PDF File Properties.  Here's some example code: https://gist.github.com/benshimmin/4088493?permalink_comment_id=884571

Also, consider using WKhtmltopdf if the FPDF PHP library is slow or difficult compared with writing HTML/CSS.

Regards, Jesse

Re: Labels are getting cut off slightly on right side

Labels for USPS have to be 4 x 6.  I have no problem in printing out the labels onto a 4 x6 printer label.  

Etsy is not here.  You are talking to fellow sellers.  Someone may see your request and have a solution.

But I really don't want Etsy to change anything as the labels work perfectly for me.

@FantasticGadgets: Plus the labels are probably being generated by the vendor Etsy uses (Pitney Bowes?) and Etsy is only passing them on to you.

Re: Labels are getting cut off slightly on right side

Here's an example comparing ebay and etsy to show where the margin should be: https://ibb.co/m09ZYpM

JDTotesnDolls, an option under "Shipping Label Options" to change the scale (not changing the default).

BagmakerSupply, Etsy gets  the label before the seller receives it so they could scale it before the user downloads it.  I've worked in this area before.
