text print is blurry - 11/19/2016 11:22:37 AM    antoniettek   Posts: 3 Joined: 11/19/2016 Status: offline I've used Print Shop for many years. Now I've got a PC with Windows 10, and Print Shop 3.5 running on it. The problem I am having is that the text looks fine on the screen, but is printing blurry . I've tried adjusting printer settings, I've tried another Printer, and nothing seems to help. Post #: 1

Also, check your print quality choices for paper type too. Mine did that, and I had it on draft while I was testing and forgot to put it back to normal. Are you almost out of ink? Is your paper secure as it goes thru the printer and not making any little "wiggles" in the feed? Edit: also, how is the printout in another program, like word, or just printing an Internet page? < Message edited by confuzzled -- 11/19/2016 4:15:35 PM > _____________________________ Confuzzled, and always waiting patiently (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 3

You have v3.5.5 running on Win 10, and text is printing fine, right? I've never had a problem with the text printing blurry on any of The Print Shop versions, but on the older v3.0, the images printed blurry. That's all been fixed in the later versions.

RE: text print is blurry - 11/22/2016 7:54:16 PM    antoniettek   Posts: 3 Joined: 11/19/2016 Status: offline Ok, I had 3.5 on my old computer. Got a new computer, installed the software. Looked for update, said I was running the latest update. Printing was blurry, you can read it, but it's terrible. Got a new printer, a Brother MFCL2707. Thought that was the problem, labels still print blurry. The only time it works fine is if I print as a jpg, but it doesn't print a full sheet, only 4 out of 10 labels. If I try to save as a PDF I get an error code 30. I've tried with older print cartidges, and new print cartridges. I've replaced the drum. I'm totally stuck and have no idea what to do other than scrap the whole thing. oh and the printer is great in every other program except this one. ugh thanks for any help ! < Message edited by antoniettek -- 11/22/2016 7:55:49 PM > (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 6

If you feel comfortable about emailing me your project, I can try to see how it prints at my end. I just sent an email to the address you registered with, so you can reply with an attachment, if you wish to do so. Edited: The forum email system doesn't seem to be working right now.

Yes, that is correct, though I haven't done any labels. I use mm and print directly to envelopes. antoniettek, hope you're feeling some better. BTDT, and it truly was no fun, especially since they didn't find my pelvic break til almost a year after the fact. (Had so many other things broken at the same time, they missed it) < Message edited by confuzzled -- 12/13/2016 5:54:34 PM > _____________________________ Confuzzled, and always waiting patiently (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 10
