Counties may choose to approve printers that are not on the list of department approved printers. Alignment is the most
frequent challenge encountered with other printers, especially light weight printers. Print testing is necessary to ensure
proper alignment and print quality. Counties will decide how many test stickers should be printed for their review and
sticker paper used for testing should be taken into consideration.
The following criteria should be followed when verifying test sticker appearance:
•
Ensure proper alignment on all print areas of the sticker paper.
•
The ink should dry in a reasonable time period. Once dry, the ink should be tested to ensure there is no smearing
on the sticker portions of the form.
For questions or assistance, please contact your local county tax office or regional service center.
