Approved Media

To achieve optimum print quality and maximum printhead life, Datamax recommends the use of DATAMAX® brand media and ribbons. These supplies are specially formulated for use in our printers; use of non-Datamax supplies may affect the print quality, performance, and life of the printer or its components.

For a current list of approved media and ribbons for use in direct thermal and thermal-transfer applications, please contact a Media Representative at (407) 523-5650.
