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.
