A. ABOUT INK CARTRIDGES AND LABEL MATERIAL (PIGMENT-BASED VS. DYE-BASED INKS, GLOSS VS. PLAIN PAPER)

For full-color printing, a 3-color ink cartridge is available. This cartridge contains the three process-color inks of yellow, magenta, and cyan, which combine to produce up to 16.7 million printable colors and works very well on all label stocks.

Two different Monochrome ink cartridges are available for the printer. First is the Pigment-Based Monochrome Black. Pigment-Based inks are for use with plain paper stock. Plain paper stocks are desirable because of their low cost but offer little resistance to water. The second type of black cartridge available is the Dye-Based Monochrome Black. Dye-Based inks are formulated for high-gloss and semi-gloss label stock.

Mono Ink/ Label Compatibility

NOTE: If you are printing barcodes on your labels it is recommended that you test your combination of label stock and cartridge to make sure the barcodes can be read accurately prior to committing to a large purchase of supplies.

B. INSTALLING LABEL STOCK

Your printer will utilize a wide variety of paper label stock. As long as the label stock is paper and can receive ink jet printing and is within the allotted size, it will work in the printer.

Primera carries a large variety of paper label stock that has been converted and ready for use with your printer.
