Approved Media

To achieve optimum print quality and maximum printhead life, Datamax specifies 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.
