Hello,
Last week I bought a HP Color LaserJet Pro M454dw printer.
I make stickers en water transfer decals of model building.
The problem is that the prints are off center en very blurry.
Also the quality is very low.
Here are some photos.
Also, the print quality is set to 'normal' and I can not change it because the button is greyed out.
I used different print paper settings with the laser decal paper.
Like Photo glossy, heavy paper, transparant film etc.
Nothing worked.
On normal A4 paper the printer works fine.
The problem is not the decal paper or sticker paper because we use 3 more printers, 1 also a HP deskjet 3050 and a Epson SC P600 printer.
Both are inkjet, but I didn't want to 'seal' the decals with vennish so that was the reason I choose for a laser printer.
Hope there are people to help me with the problem and know how I solve this.
Thank you.

Hi,
Generally, the problem relies with the used media, any problem with the printer would affect any paper and not any only a specific type.
What exact paper do you use? do you have its package? please add a clear picture of its packaging from all directions to better understand the used media information
Is it intended and compatible to be used with Laser printers? this should be clearly listed on its packaging.

I used simple A4 copy print paper.
I also used Sunnyscopa laser transparant decal paper, I also tested the white version.
I used laser sticker paper from PPD.
All paper formats are printing like in the photos from the OP.
I tried the same paper on our HP 3050 printer and our Epson SC P600 printer (both inkjets)
The normal simple A4 copy paper print perfectly.
Also the inkjet decal paper and sticker paper works great on the inkjet printers.
Strangly the test page printed with the laser printer on copy paper have the same issues.
