  Laura FletcherAug 14, 2025
  If your Brady Printer prints images with smears or voids, it could be due to a few reasons. The printhead might be dirty, requiring cleaning as described on page 60. Alternatively, the temperature may be too high; try decreasing it via the software. It's also possible that the combination of labels and transfer ribbon is incorrect, in which case you should try using a different type of ribbon.
