8.  Media. Make sure your label stock is inkjet printable.

Many thermal label stocks look the same as inkjet but do

not allow the ink to soak into the surface of the media. 

9.  Source File Image Mode. The image mode of the source

file may be set to RGB instead of CMYK. This can cause

the color matching to be off. Change the image mode of the

original file, resave and reprint.

10.  Copper Contacts. Clean the copper contacts on the back of

the print carriage and the contacts on the printhead with

rubbing alcohol.

11.  Image Resolution(

). Try another Image. Perhaps the

resolution of the current image is not sufficient for a quali-

ty print. Many graphics suitable for viewing onscreen have

a DPI of 72. This is the minimum DPI for proper screen

display. However, if you print this image it will look blurry

and pixilated. 72 is a typical DPI for images or graphics

saved from web sites. We recommend a 300 dpi image.

12.  Cable. Try another USB cable. Make sure that it is less than

6ft (2 Meters) long.  Faulty cables or cables that are too

long interrupt communications which can result in print

quality issues. 

13.  Saturation. If ink is bleeding, decrease saturation in driver

preferences.

14.  Change the Printhead. If print nozzles of certain colors are

still clogged after repeated cleanings it may be time to

replace the printhead.  See Section 5G.

COLOR MATCHING

 AND DESIGN TIPS

Whether you contract your graphic design or do it yourself,

these guidelines will help you get the best quality labels out of

your LX900.
1.  Image Size/Shape. The image size should correspond with

the size of the label you will be printing. Note: If the

source image is smaller and must be enlarged to fill the

entire label space, this will affect the DPI. A 2" x 2" 300 dpi

label blown up to fit on a 4" x 4" label would have an 

effective dpi of 75. This would not be a sufficient 

resolution. See item 2.
