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
2 metres (6 ft) 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 LX910e.
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.
2. Resolution. Resolution is measured in dots per inch or dpi.
300 DPI is sufficient to get the best possible quality from
most images. A 72 DPI image will look fine on screen but
WILL NOT print well. Graphics and logos found on
websites are typically 72 DPI. The image below was printed
from a 72 DPI image. Notice the jagged edges. Remember,
print quality settings found in the label printer driver will
have no effect on improving a low DPI source image.
