Barcode Printing 2

leeann13 · 03-12-2008, 01:22 PM

Here is another question about barcode printing using a thermal printer
( Zebra TLP 2844)
I am limited as to the size of my label and I have to get a lot of information on it. So I am down to a font size of 6 using Arial Black in bold for some of the info. I am printing on silver coloured labels that need to last 10 years - printing warranty and serial number info.
My problem is the printing is not as clean as on our preprinted labels we used to order from the printers. Has anyone any suggestions- perhaps a better font? I have played around with the density but that doesn't seem to have an effect.

thanks
Lee Ann
