LABEL & RIBBON SELECTION
EPT023558 Issue 1 February 2016 6-3
SELECTION OF MEDIA/LABELS
Domino recommends only using Domino approved media. Avoid thin or
thick labels as they can be difficult to feed onto the applicator pad. Domino
recommends that the gram weight of label stock should not be less than
55g/m
2
or higher than 77g/m
2
.
This correlates to the weight/thickness for plastic labels, but can vary
depending upon the type of plastic material used.
Selection of appropriate (good quality) labels assists production and can
reduce down time. Test any new label material in a printer prior to ordering
the labels.
Print Labels
It is possible to print on virtually any type of media/label material using a
thermal transfer printer. It is simply a matter of selecting the correct label
and combining it with the required ribbon quality.
Ensure that the labels have a top coating that is suitable (printable) with
thermal printing.
Use only fitted thermal labels if using the printer as a Direct thermal Printer.
