Not sure if you have found out since this video is about a year old, but, you dont need to manually feed the labels to the front, the printer grabs it and pulls it to the front and like that, you dont "waste" those two labels. In short, you put the first label in the back of the printer, the printer pulls it, and voila! all done with no extra labels in the front :)
Yes, I did discover that after filming this. As it was a review, I was following the instructions they gave, and hopefully, they've changed the booklet
What did you find were the best settings to get the deep black on the coloured labels? I've tried the highest resolution 300dpi and the highest density 15 and clicked the deeper option, but still find it kind of dull, more grey then black
I am really struggling with the round labels and not being centred. I have adjusted offset and wasted over 100 stickers. Munbyn are not helpful at all!
I've not had any issue with alignment on round labels. Make sure when loading the labels they are loading correctly. If it looks like it's uneven, reload them. Also, make sure the guides are tight against the labels so they feed straight.
This video was AWESOME! I was having such a problem figuring out how to do this. I used Canva for my circle labels and with your direction I was able to create perfect little labels. Thank you very much.
Man I tell you I launched and figuring out it was much more to learn every single day smh 🤦🏾♂️ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it just a good thing that this always been my passion s on that’s make learning any thing that has to do with it fun and interesting for because it’s head ache but its a head ache that going to be worth in the next few years
@@SoyandShea I have done that, created 2" by 2", looks fine when downloaded and opened up, its when i change the print size on the printing spec to 2" by 2" that it goes blurry x
Thank you. I appreciate it. I love the inner core tip 👌. I’m looking at this one and the classic one. I’m not sure if the only difference is the size or whether there’s extra features in the classic. I just need one to print postage labels and’ thank you’ stickers 🥰 x
I am pleased it helped. Here in Australia, I only see the one option available in several colours so I don't know what the difference is in the ones you see. The description should have it there. ❤
Resolved my problem!! i was trying to use msword but it was cutting the labels off, tried paint with no joy but managed it with 3D Paint, ive saved as a PDF and now can print it first time every time. Thanks
HELP...I bought that printer yesterday and set it up....I did a test on the white labels that came with it and it was a nice dark black.....I bought lavender colored labels from mynbyn and now the black is a faded grey color and when I print my design is off center. I have an event I have to get ready for and not sure how to solve these two issues....do you have a video on these things? Everything looked great on the white :(
Sorry but I don't have videos on that and you may need to contact Munbyn directly. Make sure you have loaded the paper correctly and that it is calibrated (there are instructions in the book on how to do that). Also make sure the correct paper size is selected. I haven't used the lavender labels yet to see how it prints but it could be a colour thing. In many crafts, white will always make colours appear brighter. My pink labels are usually a duller black.
I so appreciate your going through this printer. I am in the US and used to have a candle, soap, lip balm etc etc. business. Sold directly to health food stores.. under private label. Very long story. Would be nice to keep in touch once in a while. Have a good evening. Lynn
Thank you so much for doing this video. It was really helpful to understand how to set it up and the stand too. Love your😊 channel and your videos - subscriber :)
When labels skip, it means there is an error in measurement somewhere. Either in your art space or the label measurements. Even if your art space is only 1mm to big, it will skip labels.
Honestly, I wasn't aware there was one as it wasn't available when I first got the printer. I have had a quick look at the online editor and I think it could be useful for the shaped stickers, especially the seasonal ones as these are hard to design in other software.
I only just recently discovered how to load the machine so you don't waste paper. It's too hard to explain in writing, but I did demonstrate how to do it in the January vlog 🧡
Great info, thank you! Hey, is it true that the thermal stickers fade after a few months? I was thinking of using them on candle jars. Let me know your thoughts and thank you again!
Yes, thermal printing will fade over time - think of receipts you get from shops. These are usually thermal printed. Heat also affects them, so they may not make the best labels for candles.
@@SoyandShea Thank you for responding 😊. How long does the print last before it fades? I’m looking to buy but for international shipping labels which takes 15 days or longer…hope the print stays that long? Even for organizing home items how long does the print lasts if you’ve used for these purposes? Thanks again ☀️🌷
@nobodynothing2594 that's a how long is a piece of string question. The labels will last long enough for shipping but they are affected by things like heat and UV light. This will affect their life. I have some labels that have lasted for years which are on things in dark places and others only a few months when they've been in direct sunlight
Usually, if labels don't align, it means there is a user error. Either it has not been loaded straight or the measurements are off. I try reloading the paper and I check both my artboard is the right and the paper is the right size.
For a number of reasons. As I explained in the video, the screen recorder I had at the time didn't record the actions in the program I use for designing, so it would have been difficult to see the screen. The steps are standard to printing anything from software in that you select print, the paper size and print. This is the third video in this series. And the first couple do show that process.
Not all thermal printers are limited to single color printing. It depends on the paper being used and the print technology. For example, Zero Ink printers (aka ZINC) have full color printing capabilities. The print head for that type of thermal printing paper works differently that this simpler type of thermal printer. ZINC papers will change color if exposed to the right amount of heat and duration to trigger one or more of the three color sub-layers. One color per layer within the paper itself. Thermal printers tend to have the lowest print quality as well. Anywhere from 300x300 DPI at the high end or lower. These are all essentially draft modes for receipt printers.
It is still important to note that a thermal printer does not print colour. It works off of heat as I explain in video. It is true that you can get colour if you have the right paper but at the time of making this video, munbyn did not have it so i wasn't about to go into the science of it and confuse people when its a sponsored video. They do have limited ones now. Thermal Printers can be useful for many short term projects like shipping labels and of course as receipt printers which I have. I do not recommend them for items that need long lasting labels or come into contact with heat.
Thank you! I do have a problem. I don't have those settings for the paper. Don't know how that came about. just about to throw that thing against the wall. Would someone be able to help me? Have the newest Software on iMac and Macbook. :)
You may need to add them yourselves. I have done another video showing how to add paper sizes. If you continue having problems, best to contact munbyn directly
Printing quality is great though I wouldn't use this for printing personalised labels. You can only print in black and labels are for short term not long term use. They will fade and most personalised items need to last a long time
Thanks for the video! For some reason my letters don’t print smooth. I even tried do download in the highest resolution from Canva but it does not print the smooth outline of the letters. Any suggestions?
The only situation I have where the labels come into contact with water is when I use them as shipping labels. I have not had any short term effects when it rains. I don't use them as labels for products that come into contact with water so I don't know how long they will last in that situation.
What is the process when you use it for shipping labels? What I mean by that is, do you pay in advance to the post office or pay when you take your package to the post office to be shipped. How does that work? I hope this makes sense. Thank you! 😊
I have another video where I show how I pack and send my parcels. At the time of filming, I did not have this label printer, but the process is still the same with Australia Post. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XdsRIUecSv0.html
The printer is thermal meaning it burns the image into the paper. Grayscale is not colour. It will do varying shades of black including grey by changing the degree of heat.
The issues I mention were all concerns others have brought up by those using a direct thermal printer which are more common than thermal transfer printers. The advantage though is you don't have to replace ribbons
@Soy and Shea Have you noticed it on any of the labels? I bought a bunch and I cannot use the green ones because the results are poor. I saw another video you had pumpkins and other fun ones, were they all just as crisp? Thanks for the response much appreciated xoxo
@Siren Kimmie as mentioned above, I've not had any problems with my labels. I use both theirs and another companies in colour and white and all work fine
At the time of recording this video, there were two options of printers on the website whereas now it appears to be only the one which is more compatible with Australia post but will do all labels.
I am actually feeding it through the back per the instructions that come with the machine. The wasted stickers was annoying me and I have since found a video put out by Munbyn showing an alternative way to load the stickers. I will show in a future video 😁
great video, have been looking for something easier to do my labels, can you tell me if there are other sized paper / stickers they use doesn't look like a lot of options on their web site? really enjoying your channel 🙂
Thank you. I've not yet tried it but you should be able to buy any direct thermal labels on the market to go through the machine. I'm hoping to get some this month to try
I have a munbyn printer as well, but mine will not calibrate no matter what I do. It's so frustrating! It'll just keep feeding labels through or when it does print it prints a tiny bit and not the entire label.
The only time I've had problems with it feeding labels is when I had the measurements out by 1mm. If everything is set perfectly, it may be worth contact Munbyn in case of a fault
@@SoyandShea I contacted support but they sent me back an email telling me to insert my labels, hold the feed button down til it beeped once, and then I'd be set to go. That was not the case 😂 A coworker gave me another idea to try to reset the printer, so I'm hoping that works. The method I found online did not help either. I'm about to buy a different printer at this point >.
@@SoyandShea I figured it out eventually! I had to actually go to the printer settings on my pc and set up 2" by 2" option before following these steps. Thank you for the video, I now have stickers :D
