Troubleshooting and Maintenance

8.
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.
9.
Copper Contacts.
Clean the copper contacts on the back of
the print carriage and the contacts on the print head with
rubbing alcohol.
10.
Image Resolution (DPI).
Try another Image. Perhaps the
resolution of the current image is not sufficient for a
quality 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.
11.
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.
12.
Saturation.
If ink is bleeding, decrease saturation in driver
preferences.
C. 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 LX910.
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.
