Need Label Printing Help
Spent quite a while trying to print a quilt label last night. For some reason it comes out looking faded. I am guessing the fact that I had to scan it first, then print, is the culprit. I used cotton fabric with a freezer paper back first. Then tried it on Printed Treasures, which usually comes out terrific. Guess I need to take one of the free online classes on dealing with pictures so I can make them the shape I want and put them together with the words. HP labelmaker no help. Aargh. (Smile). Picked up the quilt yesterday and excited about putting it in the show at Pigeon Forge. Lavinia-TN

Lavinia, was your printer perhaps set to "Quick print" or "draft" level? Mine has this option which doesn't put at much ink on the paper. Just a thought of something easy to check!

Does it print darker on paper? If not, you may be low on ink and need a new cartridge.

lavinia,
i had a similar thing happen and i do think it was because i had to scan the picture. i think the setting on the scanner wasn't as hi-res as it should've been. i didn't know how to change that tho, so used a picture already on my computer.
