 Fix labels being grainy or blurry when printed on a Zebra label printer

Users of a Zebra label printer can experience labels being grainy or blurry when printed using the OmniParcel Print Agent

If you experience labels being blurry or grainy when printed on a Zebra printer using the OmniParcel Print Agent, please follow the steps below to resolve the problem.

The problem is usually caused by an option called “Dithering type” not having been set to “None”.
Please note that if you have an older setup, this option may instead be called “Simulation”.

To change this, open up the Windows settings go to the “Devices”, then select “Printers & scanners” in the menu on the left.

Select the Zebra printer and click on “Manage”.

Click on “Printing preferences”.

Now select the tab “Dithering”, select the option “None” under “Dithering type”, click on “Apply” and then click “OK”.

 What is your recommended label printer?

All our labels are well tested on Zebra GK420D Direct Thermal Printer with default settings.
