  A blurred or missing print image on your QuickLabel Systems Label Maker can be due to several reasons. It could be that the printhead is dirty. Another cause might be that the temperature is too high; try decreasing the temperature via the software. Finally, the issue may stem from an unfavorable combination of labels and transfer ribbon; consider using another ribbon type or brand.

  Wrinkled transfer ribbon on your QuickLabel Systems Label Maker may be caused by a few things. The transfer ribbon deflection might not be adjusted correctly. Another possibility is that the head locking system is not properly adjusted. Also, ensure that you are using transfer ribbons that are just a bit wider than the label; a ribbon that is too wide can also cause wrinkles.

  If your QuickLabel Systems Label Maker transports the label medium but not the transfer ribbon, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, check the transfer ribbon to make sure it is loaded correctly, paying attention to the course of the transfer ribbon and the orientation of the covered side, and correct if necessary. Second, the issue might be due to an unfavorable combination of labels and transfer ribbon, so try using another ribbon type or brand.
