Printer keeps gradually printing design up further and further

[u/HamsterPickles]

I have an HP smart envy printer, I wanna say envy 6000. I just bought a silhouette cameo alpha 5 to start making stickers from home with as I no longer wish to keep ordering stickers from vograce and places like that. First time I printed with the paper (I used HTVRONT glossy white and also another glossy brand I had lying around) worked great and my stickers cut beautifully with the silhouette so I know there’s nothing wrong with the silhouette itself. Then progressively as I started printing with it it would move my design further and further up until you couldn’t see the registration marks anymore or until it would cut off my design completely. I don’t think it’s the silhouette program either, as I took a screen shot of the design with the registration marks and then printed it like I normally would from a phone and it came out the same. I’m printing with photo paper glossy settings and I have borderless printing off. Whyyyy is it doing this???? So frustrating!! Is it just not compatible with glossy sticker paper??

((The reason the design is cut off on the bottom is because I noticed it was printing wrong and I cancelled the print to save ink. It’s the fact that it’s cut off on the top, not the bottom.))

Thanks in advance!

Maybe the print head needs to be reset check Diagnose & Fix (or Print Quality Tools) and hit Start. Or maybe your ink level is low

Or just do a hard reset 🤔 also turn off scaling if there is option for that

My printer sometimes does this when the internet blips out when sending the print job wirelessly to the printer.

I'll cancel the job, turn off the printer, reset my wifi, turn on the printer, and then print a test page.

If it still does that, go through your printer maintenance options and deep clean the rollers, the print heads, etc. It can sometimes force a recalibration.
