Media Being Pulled at Label Exit

Description

Overlapping label content/shifting label content.

Cause

As the ink is being sprayed in the printer, the media moves faster or slower than intended and 
a print defect results.

Possible Solutions

If a rewinder is in use, ensure the rewinder is perfectly centered with the exiting media.

Ensure the label exit is uninhibited.

Lower rewinder torque.
