7.3 Recommended Media and Ribbon Types
Media type De
scription
Vellum paper and labels General use for low cost applications.
Coated paper
General use including applications that require small letters and/or symbols.
Glossy coated paper
Used where a high-grade finish is required
Plastic films
This water-proof and solvent-resistant material has high physical strength
and low-temperature resistance, but poor heat resistance (dependant upon
material). This material can be used for labels stuck to recyclable
containers, so it can be recycled in the same process.
PET film
This water-proof and solvent-resistant material has high physical strength,
and low-temperature resistance as well as heat resistance. This material is
used for many applications, especially where high durability is required.
Mode/serial plate labels, caution labels, etc.
Polyimide
This material gives the best performance on heat resistance (greater than
PET film). It is often used for PCB labels as it can withstand passage
through a solder bath.
NOTES:
1. To ensure print quality and print head life use only TOSHIBA TEC specified ribbons.
2. To avoid ribbon wrinkles use a ribbon that is wider than the media by 5 mm or more. However, too much
difference in width between the two may cause wrinkles.
