Fix a problem
My labels print off the lines
Print at 100% or Actual Size, make sure the paper size is US Letter, and run a test page on plain paper first.
Read the fix →My printer only prints half the sheet
Check the paper size, then the print preview, then the printer's own paper setting, then the driver, in that order.
Read the fix →My text box won't rotate in Word
It is usually an older .doc file, the text wrap setting or Protected View. Each has a quick fix on Mac and Windows.
Read the fix →Canva shows a Pro watermark on my label
A Pro element slipped into the design. Swap it for a free one, or filter Canva's search to free items before you add anything.
Read the fix →Laser toner flakes or smudges off my labels
Check that the label is laser-safe, then set a heavier paper type so the printer's fuser runs hotter.
Read the fix →Print looks faint, streaky or smudged
Work through the checklist: print size, paper size, paper type, margins, ink and printer drivers.
