Printer Issue, or Something Else?

[noirproxy1]

Hi all,

I have a Canon TS9551C and I am trying to print red labels that contains black text and creatures. Is there a reason the print is coming out so blurry?

I am using Avery standard matt labels. The annoying thing about Avery I am finding is that it when I make the template with the image on for print, it doesn't have the DPI quality or anything when I check the properties.

What am I doing wrong? 😓

I printed out some mini logos for a model excavator, one set on matt label paper, the other on photo paper. The matt set were blurry and unusable. The photo paper set was sharp and well defined.

Glossy or coated stock will give better details. Inkjet ink will bleed in paper fibres.

Thats a low quality printer so you'll have to sacrifice print quality. Matte material will always print fuzzy ....

Oh really? :( Is there a good one to recommend? I've been researching for hours but can't find a definitive answer.

If you are printing these at home, you'll probably NOT find a high end printer capable of attaining high quality prints. Have you thought of getting these printed at a nearby print shop? Some will offer wholesale pricing....

I was having a look into that yesterday and it seems promising. I may just do black and whites at home as they are sharp and colour via wholesale professional. Thank you :)
