If you have purchased label stock from someone other than Primera, test the unit with the label sample material that came with the unit. If it prints correctly, your paper stock may not be compatible.

If you must use this type of backing, try paper stock that has a black mark on the back to show where the label begins. You will need to change the Sensor Type setting in the driver preferen

The surface of the media reacts with the ink in the cartridge to produce the color. For this reason, when printing the same image to different types of media with different surfaces the printed output can look entirely different. Ink S
