    Why is the print faint on labels from my Brady Label Maker?

      Keith LongAug 29, 2025
      If the Brady Label Maker is printing with faint print on labels, the ribbon may not be advancing properly. With the ribbon installed, tension it by rotating the rewind spool (top spool) in a downward direction until all slack is removed. You might also try another ribbon cartridge.
