Prinint Guidelines - Konica Minolta
The following guidelines are given as an aide to choosing the most
suitable printer settings for each material - all materials were in die cut
label form PCL3-51 (51mm diameter circles) when tested
All normal guidelines for laser printing self adhesive labels should also
be followed;
• Always fan the sheets well before printing
• Take particular care when knocking up the sheets not to ‘bend’ the
edges and cause the labels to ‘lift’ - discard any sheets that are
damaged
• Select the feed tray appropriate to the machine and stock
capabilities. The most direct feed path available will normally
produce the best results
