Due to variations in A4 laser printer performance and environmental conditions, printing results may differ. Below are key factors affecting die-cut adhesive label printing quality:

Print Settings
Page Scaling
Set page scaling to Actual Size or 100% during printing. Incorrect scaling may cause content misalignment or size errors.
Paper Type
Select Label Paper or Heavyweight Paper as the paper type in printer settings.
Toner Level
Ensure sufficient toner levels before printing. Low toner may cause color deviations or incomplete prints.
Common Issues
Why does printed content mismatch die-cut patterns?
- Download the corresponding die-cut adhesive template matching your label size. Different label sizes require specific templates. Verify that page scaling is set to 100%/Actual Size and confirm using a laser printer. If issues persist, adjust print margins.
Why does printed content rub off easily?
- Confirm printer type: Inkjet printers are unsuitable due to technical limitations. Use recommended A4 laser printers. View printer recommendations
Why does paper jam occur?
- Some printers may not support adhesive materials. Contact printer manufacturer for compatibility confirmation. Tested printer models
Why do colors differ from screen preview?
- Color variations between screen and print are normal due to printer color profiles. Ensure adequate toner levels.
Is color printer mandatory?
- Die-cut labels support both color and B&W laser printers. For B&W output, use monochrome QR code designs.
Can die-cut labels be laminated?
- Home A4 printers cannot handle laminated labels. For laminated labels, use local print shops or CaoLiao's professional printing service with pre-laminated options: CaoLiao Printing Service
