A:

If you are experiencing issues with white dots and white lines on your printed labels, the printer head may has become dirty. In order to resolve this, we recommend cleaning your printer head.

Additionally, using a high-quality thermal label, such as Betckey label paper, can help prevent the poor quality label coating from peeling off and sticking to the print head, ensuring clear printing.

If you have followed these steps and the issue persists, please don't hesitate to contact us for further assistance.

There are mainly 3 situations:

1). The primary reason is that your printing file is not the size of your label. To resolve this issue, you need to adjust the file size accordingly. You can do this through the shipping platform or online store, depending on where the file originates. The platform setup will guide you through the necessary steps.

 2). When switching labels, it's important to ensure that the printing size setup is adjusted accordingly. Make sure to select the printing setup size that corresponds to your shipping label. See instruction below with 4 x 6 labels as the example.

①For Windows: Go to the ‘printer preferences’ -> ‘advanced’ -> ‘paper size’, select the correct size for the printer (please select the 4x6 inch or 100*150mm)

②For Mac: 

For Mac users, select correct size on "Paper Size" in the print dialogue. For instance, you should choose the 4 x 6" for 4 x 6 labels (eg. DK-1241, Dymo 1744907).

You can use the presets settings to p save these specific printing settings and avoid repeated setup.

3) If the file size is correct but still print incompletely, try to adjust your printer:

① Load no less than 4 consecutive labels into the printer.

② Press and hold FEED button, and when you hear a beep,

release the feed.

③ The printer will learn the size of the paper at this time. After the process is complete, the printer back to normal

No, all BETCKEY labels are monochrome only instead of printing 2 or more colors. Whatever what color Betckey labels are, printing color will be Black only.

Eg. You can only print Black color content on BETCKEY DK-2205-Light Blue Labels.  

We don’t recommend to handwriting on BETCKEY thermal direct labels because your writing will get smear if rubbed by hands. This is determined by special coating of thermal direct labels.

If you really want to handwriting on labels, try our UL-series sticker paper for Laser & Inkjet printers.
