Printing on clear labels

[lordyandy]

I upgraded my printer from an inkjet to a laser printer because I needed the laser printer for work. I also use the same printer for crafting projects. I have several printables that I would like to print on sticker paper. I have no problems printing on white sticker paper, but I can never get the clear ones to print correctly. With my last attempt, the cyan didn't print on the labels at all. I've changed the paper type to label paper and I specifically bought laser label paper for these projects. Are there any other tips that I'm missing? All of the other boards I've searched all I'm able to find are people printing on inkjet. With all the money I've invested in this blasted clear label paper, I'd like to be able to use it. Thanks!

We print on clear labels all the time, sometimes depends on the device though, if you read media specs closely some do not support stickers or other heavier media but if you have printed on white labels clear should work as well. Might be an issue with the brand of media you purchased. As long as you have paper type set to labels the printer should work fine. Likely unrelated, but always make sure that your firmware is up to date.

@repairatrooper Would you mind sharing what brand you use?

Hi,

Could you please share a picture of the packaging of your labels?

Also, make sure you load the labels facing up into a laser printer, unlike inkjet printers where you should load it facing down.

Also, when you close the tray, make sure the paper type is set as Labels or Any Type, also make sure the paper type is set as Labels within the print driver properties (Printing Preferences dialog)

Hope that may help,
