Approved Media

To achieve optimum print quality and maximum printhead life, we recommend the use of our media and ribbons. These supplies are specially formulated for use in our printers; use of other 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 consult Section 2.1.1 or contact a Media Representative.
