Types of Media

The printer can use various types of media (Table 5). Brady strongly recommends the use of Brady-brand supplies for continuous high-quality printing. A wide range of paper, polypropylene, polyester, and vinyl stock has been specifically engineered to enhance the printing capabilities of the printer and to prevent premature printhead wear.
