When printing our labels (on special pre-printed paper) I encounter a problem where the toner doesn’t bond completely and instead “poofs”.
These pics show what I mean.

There’s minute breaks in the toner – usually where the line is thinnest – and the result leaves a poof of toner.
I’ve tried every possible printer setting I can think and have seen no change in the results.
Note: the labels do seem to have a slight coating on them, presumably from the screenprinting process used to print our logo on the paper.

Oh yea – the printer is a HP Laserjet 1022.
With genuine HP toner cartridge.
The problem has occurred on other laser printers as well (Dell).
