Printing Tips

Please refer to your printer manual for printer specific paper loading and feeding recommendations.

Store inkjet label sheets in the original plastic clamshell packaging in a cool, dry place to avoid humidity.

Put a weight on the label sheets to keep them flat in and out of the box, but do not crush or bend the edges.

Prevent label sheets from being exposed to direct sunlight or flood lights.

Make sure your inkjet printer is on the “Plain Paper” and “Normal” settings with 300 or 600 DPI resolution.

Reducing DPI may resolve smudging issues, while higher image quality settings can lead to over saturation of ink on the label material.

Before you print onto a label sheet, first print onto a blank piece of paper. Place the printed sheet behind the label sheet, and then hold the sheets up to a light to make sure the positioning is correct.

Before and after printing, handle label sheets by the edges of the sheet being careful not to get oil from your fingers on the printable label surface. Oil may cause smudging.

Allow ink to dry completely before stacking, handling or peeling the printed labels.

Sheets of inkjet labels can be passed through an inkjet printer only once; the tight paper path of an inkjet printer can cause the label to curl on multiple passes through the printer. This could cause the label to jam or peel off inside the printer, resulting in an expensive repair bill.

Refer to your printer manual for loading and feeding recommendations. Many printers have special instructions regarding the direction in which you should load sheets.

Before you print onto a label sheet, first print onto a blank piece of paper. Place the printed sheet behind the label sheet, and then hold the sheets up to a light to make sure the positioning is correct.

If you find your toner is flaking or easily rubbing off, please try selecting “Labels” or “Transparency” in your printer settings as the media type as opposed to paper. These settings are normally found in your print options on print dialog box when you push print or they are located in the display screen on your printer.

Reducing your printer’s DPI resolution may give the label sheets a better quality finish.

Sheets of laser labels can be passed through a laser printer only once because the heat of the printer causes the adhesive to soften. If a sheet of labels is passed through the printer a second time, the adhesive could ooze and adhere to the inner workings of the printer, causing the labels to jam or peel off.
