Q: Templates print fine but photos only print on half the page and sometimes the image is stretched. Do I need to change the horizontal settings and if so what do I set them to?

submitted by CRob - 26 days ago
  • A: Hi CRob, thanks for reaching out about Core Innovations Thermal Notetaking Printer. It sounds like you're encountering a common issue with thermal printers when printing images – often related to image scaling or resolution not matching the printer's capabilities. For your Core Innovations Thermal Notetaking Printer, if templates print fine but photos are distorted (half page, stretched), the problem likely isn't about changing "horizontal settings" on the printer itself, but rather how the image is being prepared or sent to the printer from the app. Here's a breakdown of what's likely happening and how to troubleshoot it: Why it's happening: Image Resolution/Aspect Ratio Mismatch: The app or printer is trying to fit an image with a certain resolution or aspect ratio into a print area that's different. DPI (Dots Per Inch) Discrepancy: Thermal printers have a fixed DPI (e.g., 203 DPI). If the image you're sending isn't prepared for that DPI, the printer might try to scale it incorrectly, leading to stretching or cutting off. App Limitations/Bugs: The app you're using (likely the companion app for the printer) might have an issue with how it processes and sends image data to the thermal print head. Print Area (Thermal Paper Width): Thermal printers have a very specific print width. If the image isn't scaled to fit this width, it will be cut off or compressed. What to do (Troubleshooting Steps): Check the Printer's Companion App Settings: Image Cropping/Scaling Options: Look for options within the app when you're preparing to print a photo. There might be settings like "Fit to Page," "Fill Page," "Maintain Aspect Ratio," or options to manually crop the image before printing. Print Quality/DPI Settings: Some apps offer different print quality settings. While less common for basic thermal printers, ensure it's not set to something that would cause issues. Firmware Update: Check if there's a firmware update available for your printer through the app. Sometimes these updates fix printing bugs. Pre-process Your Photos: Crop and Resize Externally: Before sending the photo to the printer's app, try cropping and resizing it in a photo editor on your phone or computer. Determine Print Width: You'll need to know the effective print width of your thermal paper in pixels. For most small thermal printers, this is often around 384 dots (pixels) for 57mm wide paper (since 57mm / 25.4 mm/inch * 203 DPI = ~455 dots, but the printable area is often less due to margins, typically 384 dots for a common print head). Adjust Aspect Ratio: Try to make the aspect ratio of your image match the aspect ratio of the printable area of the thermal paper (e.g., if the paper is much taller than it is wide, crop your image vertically before sending). Experiment with Different Photos: Try printing photos with different original aspect ratios (e.g., a square photo, a wide landscape photo, a tall portrait photo). This can help determine if the issue is more pronounced with certain image dimensions. Reinstall the App: Sometimes a fresh install of the printer's companion app can resolve glitches. Contact Core Innovations Support: If none of the above works, reach out to Core Innovations customer support. They might have specific troubleshooting steps for their printer model or be aware of a known issue. It's possible there's a specific optimal image size or aspect ratio for their printer. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Please don't waste your money. This isn't worth it. Quality is poor, there's no way to tell if the battery is charged/charging, the software is barely in English (it says "Low Pressure" instead of "Low Battery"), and most importantly, you can't really design much with the templates they provide. You can't resize text. You can't print a border with a photo. Tons of missing features.
