MF242dw Printing light lines, help needed

[Jasin]

We have a plasma machine at our shop and it prints out tickets for the pieces we burn. Recently we bought this new MF242dw printer because the old printer died (dusty enviroment). The issue we are having is that the drawing of the part on the label is so light we can't even see it on colored labels. Yet the text on the same label is perfectly fine.

I have tried to mess with some of the settings without much luck at this point. Does anyone know of why this might be happening? I thought maybe it had something to do with the halftone setting using some form of pattern. But so far this setting hasn't helped much.

I can upload a photo if need be to help visualize the problem more.

Here it is one year later.I just shipped a package through FedEx and when I checked tracking,shows they had to relabel,due to illegible label.I either have to buy another printer or print out on regular paper and tape to the package.Kind of a hassle and waste of tape.

You can just print on regular paper,cut out the label and use one of those glue pens to attach to package.That works for me.

The last Canon I purchased just ate up ink, so I thought I would buy a laser printer, but the print quality is awful for my MF242dw.  I am wondering if they sabotage their customers on purpose.  There is literature out there that says to increase the font to dark on individual software packages, but the problem is the printer; not the other software.
