Zebra Printer: Blurry Label Solution

If you are using a Zebra Printer, and your labels look blurry when printed these steps may help resolve the issue. The steps below are for model Zebra 450 CTP, however, the solution applies for any of the printers listed by Seagull here: https://www.seagullscientific.com/support/downloads/drivers/zebra

If you also use UPS WorldShip or FedEx Ship Manager, we recommend adding your FedEx or UPS account to XPS Ship to process the shipments. For more details visit: Carrier Accounts

If you do not wish to add the accounts and want to continue using the UPS and FedEx applications do not follow these steps, instead use the steps found in: Zebra Printer: ZP500 and ZP505 Not Printing Correctly
