A
With black
ribbon: Text
created in the CD
Painter program
does not print
clearly
Check Strobe
setting. Setting of
too high or too low
will effect text
quality. If strobe is
too high you may
have a ribbon tear or
hear a ”crackle”
sound while
printing, indicating
ribbon is
overheated.
Try a Strobe setting
of 15 and increase
strobe value in
increments of 5 until
you have good
results.
CD media may not
be suitable for
thermal transfer
labeling. Try
different brand of
CD media.
B
Graphics and
Text have light
horizontal lines
Check strobe
setting. See above.
Strobe setting is too
high, causing ribbon
to wrinkle
