B.1.2.9 Requirements for Transparency Rate of Die-Cut Label Paper

If transparency (without black marks) label is used, use a label that meets the following requirements so that the printer can recognize the label position:

(label + backing paper): transparency 18% or less

(backing paper): transparency 47% or more

Note:

❏Transparency rates are measured by the Macbeth TD-904 (with a filter for infrared) photometer. The transparency rates are calculated as follows:

Use

Density = Log10 (Amount of irradiation / Amount of transparency)

Then,

Transparency rate (%) = (Amount of transparency / Amount of irradiation)⋅ 100

B.1.2.10 Requirements for Black Mark Position for Die-Cut Label Paper

If die-cut label with black marks is used, there are two reflective rate requirements, depending on the size and position of black marks. Be sure to use label paper that meets either black mark position requirement I or II as follows:

B.1.2.11 Requirements for Black Mark Position I

The black mark positions on the paper to be manufactured must meet the requirements in the figure below. The reflective rates of the black mark portions 1 and label portions 2 must meet the combinations shown in the table below (the reflective rate is measured using the back of the paper, the non-printing side):

Reflecting rate for black mark portion 1	17%	16%	15%	14%	13%	Less

Reflecting rate for label portion 2	90%	85%	80%	75%	70%	More

NOTE:Reflective rates are measured by the Macbeth PCM-II (Filter D) meter.
