AGFA 2100 manual Label Specifications, Unacceptable Labels

5.4 Label Specifications

A label consists of a face sheet, an adhesive sheet, and a carrier sheet. The face sheet (or printing surface) is usually composed of photocopying paper and should meet the same specifications for paper as described in Table 5–2. The carrier sheet and adhesive used for the labels must also be able to meet the heat tolerance specification of 200°C (392°F) for at least 0.1 second. Figure 5–1 shows the types of labels that are unacceptable.

CAUTION: Do not expose the adhesive on the labels because it could cause damage to the printer. An easy way to test for adhesive that may be exposed is to press a plain piece of paper on top of the sheet of labels. If the paper sticks to the labels, you should not use those labels.
