LABEL & RIBBON SELECTION
EPT023558 Issue 1 February 2016 6-5
Ribbon width
The required width of the ribbon depends on the width of the label used
and the text printed on the label. If the whole width (or almost the whole
width) of the label is printed then use a ribbon as wide as the label, plus
2mm on each side.
This allows equal pressure to be applied to the entire label avoiding any
sticky glue residues.
Note: If only a part of the label is to be printed (in width) it is good
practice to use a ribbon width suited to the print width. With a wide
ribbon and only printing on half the ribbon width, their is a risk that
the ribbon will be stretched only on the printed side, resulting in the
wrinkling of the ribbon.
Minimum width
Because tension in the ribbon can be high, it is recommended to use a
minimum width of 60mm.
If too narrow a ribbon (<60mm) is used, the tension could cause the ribbon
to break.
