I have this Zebra LP 2844 printer and it has started to print really light. What type of resin paper do I need?

This is a direct thermal printer. One of two things is occurring:1) Your paper stock is decaying, due to age / heat / sunlight.2) There is an issue with your printhead.To resolve the second issue, you can first try to clean the printhead with an alcohol swab. Then, try increasing the darkness settings in the printer driver. If these do not work, you may need to purchase a new printhead.

I would suggest a stronger vinyl. Look at your local print shop. I use 751 c or 651 Oracle . I use my Silhouette vinyl for projects for tiles, that stay in the house. You can also order the Oracle on line.. just type in Oracle vinyl online. Good Luck!!!

You can use the paper in a laser printer, but be sensitive to the paper path. I use it in a Canon MFC8530, and I even print duplex (double-sided) with it. But I put it in the manual feed tray, and select the heavy weight glossy setting (there are multiple). The paper path in the Canon MFC8530 is very straight, front to back over the laser drums, and the duplexer doesn't have a lot of extreme corners (though there is one in back). Really important to set the correct weight and glossy setting. The other precaution I use is to only feed 6 or so pages at a time through the manual feeder. I noticed if I try to go to aggressive, I get misfeeds because the initial sheet picker is sensitive.

Luana, if you could give me more information I would be able to assist you on that. I would need to know what type and model of printer that you have. Feel free to contact me again if you wish.

There are settings on the printer that allow you to do this. There are two different settings for light cardstock and heavy cardstock. If light cardstock doesn't look good, use the heavy cardstock. I used to have two other printers and they did not do well, with laser powder flaking off. This one doesn't do that. However it has been my experience that if this happens you choose a heavier setting. All in all this printer is a keeper. I am a soapmaker who needs a lot of quality labels for soap and candles and use cardstock, labels and paper and this printer is the only one I will use. The laser print stays on the label as I lug things from show to show...it's a really good investment and the day it breaks down, I'm getting another xerox. xerox is the way to go!

I have not been able to get my Epson XP-400 to print on any medium-heavy weight card stock, even when I hand feed it single sheets. I have a friend who was able to ram a few sheets of 100# pages through, but then the printer wouldn't pull any type of paper through after that. I highly recommend you don't ram paper through - the person below who says "Its' not an HP" so you can rough the printer up does not appear to be trustworthy or logical.

Sorry, don't know what else it could be. Just make sure you've replaced the correct black cartridge. I think the smaller one is the photo ink and the large is regular text...which always empties the fastest for me. I had a Brother printer that would take compatible color ink but would only accept genuine brother ink in black. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have used 110 weight paper and the printer jams on and off...especially when printing large quantities.

If you are printing photos - you can buy photo quality paper. I just use multipurpose white paper - its completely up to you!

I print to 8-1/2 x 11 Transparency Film all the time and I've never had one single problem with this printer. I can't imagine that 32lb glossy laser paper could be any more problematic. I don't think that you will have any problem with this printer. I've had NO complaints about its performance or the quality of its prints since I've had it. This is a very good printer.

Also, make sure that your photo paper is not old, and hasn't been exposed to the elements. The unused paper needs to be sealed in it's original packaging. I read this on the dpreview printer forum--I can't speak from experience since the photo paper that I use (Costo Kirkland) has been in my printer for a month (not sealed up in a package), and I've had no problems with it. However, my dad had problems with his printer (OEM paper, no less), and I'm sure it was due to the paper being either old or out of the wrapping.

I have not tried using this type of paper in a dark room. I would suggest looking up Epson"s phone number on the internet and give them a call. They have always been helpful when I called about printer problems. Thank You RHS

I have no idea other than to make sure that your print settings are set for the "best" quality. The default is "normal". Also be sure that the paper setting is the same as what you are using.

I used shrinky dink material, I didn't have to lighten it came out perfect. I did a butterfly ( Monarch with yellow and black ). If you have a printer / copier, you could print it then copy it lighter or darker, then use that for your master. Hope this helps. Its a great product.

I've printed on cardstock, not sure if that's 100 LB or not- I make my own greeting cards from paintings I've done. It worked as well as on the regular weight paper. I do bump up the black a little when printing scans.

Nope. I have a Cannon Maxima. Does your Epson printer have any listed guidelines about the types of printing paper that you should use?
