    Why are my dk Media Converter prints light?
    • S
      Stacy SmithAug 5, 2025
      Light prints from your dk Media Converter can occur due to several reasons: * Poor print pressure: Adjust to a higher pressure between the rubber wheel and pressure roller by relocating the adjusting wedge. * Insufficient preheating: Ensure you heat the ink roll sufficiently. * Depleted ink roll: Install a new ink roll. * Damaged or worn type: Replace with new type. * Temperature issues: Increase the temperature setting. If that doesn't work, consider repairing the temperature controller, heater, heating cartridge, or heating tube.
