5. Maintenance
Store unused label sheets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. This helps preserve the adhesive quality and prevents the sheets from curling or sticking together. Avoid bending or creasing the sheets before printing to ensure optimal feed through the printer.
6. Troubleshooting
- Misalignments or Printer Jams: Ensure the label sheets are loaded correctly into the printer tray, aligning with the guides. Utilize the Sure Feed technology by ensuring the sheets are flat and not bent. If issues persist, check your printer's manual for specific paper loading instructions.
- Smudged or Faded Print: Verify that you are using an inkjet printer, as these labels are optimized for inkjet. Allow sufficient drying time after printing before handling the labels. Check your printer's ink levels and print quality settings.
- Labels Not Sticking: Ensure the surface you are applying the label to is clean, dry, and smooth. The Ultrahold permanent adhesive is designed for strong adhesion, but rough, dusty, or oily surfaces may reduce effectiveness. Apply firm pressure across the entire label when adhering.
- Difficulty Peeling Labels: Utilize the Easy Peel with Pop-up Edge feature by gently bending the sheet to lift the label edge. If labels are still difficult to peel, ensure they have not been exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity, which can affect the adhesive and backing.
