I've tried making my own labels using Avery inkjet label paper & my Canon
850i printer. I was trying for a burgundy background colour and the result was a rather faded look. Does anyone have advice, samples that I can try?
That sounds more like a printer cartridge problem than an artwork problem. Have you checked your printer cartridge status ?
Ultimately, anything you print is only as good as the printer which is why it is gonna be a while before major photogs toss their SLR's for Digitals and PC's. And don't forget, there's always the classic solution to print jobs: Take it to a real Printer who'll Offset it. After all, it's still *your* artwork and therefore *your* label. Problems like yours make me think it may be better to keep the labels I will make as line drawings. Post your solution for us.
