Media General

Self-adhesive labels are backed with silicon-coated backing paper, from which the label is removed. There are different types of adhesive:

•Tickets are printed on non-adhesive paper, which means there is no need for backing paper.

•Both labels and tickets are available as rolls or as fan-folded continuous paper tracks. Fan-folded labels and tickets are supplied in boxes, in which labels are stored before passing through the printer.

•Perforations are used to divide labels and tickets. This makes them easier to tear after printing.

•In order to start and stop the media during the print process, the printer is equipped with a detector that senses any gaps or black marks.

For more detailed information about media and consumables, we recommend you read Datamax’s ‘CONSUMABLES’ document (currently only available in English).

The MP Nova DT printers use direct thermal media, such as labels, paper and tickets.

Direct thermal media is made of special paper that reacts to heat and printouts are often black. Different paper qualities are available.

The MP Nova TT uses a special ink ribbon, which transfers ink to media (receiver) when subjected to heat. Labels printed using the thermal transfer method shows a greater resistance to heat and UV-light.
