Hi Everyone,

I am making a set of custom labels. I am using Surething labal program setup to my labels specs. I printed them and noticed that page creeping is occuring. Prints good for the first row than prints off center for the rest

The paper I bought was already precut for the circles
I used a HP 932 Inkjet printer.


It creeping a result of the feeding mechs of the printer?

and would a HP laser print 2600 address this type of problem

thank you in advance

Most likely. Sounds like a lazy set of rollers in your printer.

There is an adjustment in the program that you could use to counter that creeping. In fact that's probably the problem. I haven't used it for several months, but I remember a screen in there where you can adjust parameters by as little as 1/1000" and its actually the spacing between rows that is off. If you can measure how much it is off on the last row and divide that by the number of rows and that would tell you how much to reduce the spacing between rows by. The problem is, you may not be able to measure it precisely enough, so you can just guestimate and printout draft copies on plain paper and then hold it up to the light against the label sheet to see how it lines up. This is how I did it when I did a bunch of labels using that program on a color laser.

I encountered the page creeping when I printed my chips. I actually adjusted the row spacing to print mine, but in hindsight, you may try printing a vertical line from top to bottom of the page as you print the labels. My theory was that the print feed would vary slightly while printing vs. while not printing. The vertical line down the page would make the feed rate more consistent through the page printing. It's worth a shot.
