Identifying Print Quality Issues
Print quality refers to the quality of the text, barcodes, and images that are printed on the card.
Color Accuracy
When the colors on the printed card do not match the expected result, there are several steps that may be taken to
get the desired output.
1. If using the driver, make adjustments in Color Optimization.
2. If using the driver, create and apply a Windows ICC color profile.
3. Whether using the driver or not, contact Zebra to create a custom lookup table.
Dirt and Debris
Spots and speckles appearing on the card may be caused by dirt and debris in the printer.
• Replace the cleaning rollers
• Clean the printer
Image Placement
If the image printed on the card seems to have shifted, this may be an image placement issue.
• From the driver, use the Print Position adjustment feature.
Smear
Smear may occur when a sudden shift from a dark color to a light color occurs and the printhead has not sufficiently
cooled when printing the light color, thereby the dark color appears to “smear” into the light color.
• From the driver, Lower the Preheat value in Color Optimization.
