7.3 Recommended Media and Ribbon Types

7.3 Recommended Media and Ribbon Types

Media type

Description

Vellum paper and labels

General use for low cost applications.

Coated paper

Matt coated paper

 

General use including applications that require small letters and/or symbols.

 

Glossy coated paper

 

Used where a high-grade finish is required

Plastic films

Synthetic film (Polypropylene, etc.)

 

This water-proof and solvent-resistant material has high physical strength

 

and low-temperature resistance, but poor heat resistance (dependant upon

 

material). This material can be used for labels stuck to recyclable

 

containers, so it can be recycled in the same process.

 

PET film

 

This water-proof and solvent-resistant material has high physical strength,

 

and low-temperature resistance as well as heat resistance. This material is

 

used for many applications, especially where high durability is required.

 

Mode/serial plate labels, caution labels, etc.

 

Polyimide

 

This material gives the best performance on heat resistance (greater than

 

PET film). It is often used for PCB labels as it can withstand passage

 

through a solder bath.

Ribbon type

Description

Vellum wax ribbon

This ribbon is mainly used for vellum paper and labels. It has a

 

very high ink density to cope with uneven printing surface

Standard wax ribbon

Good match for coated paper (Matt coat and glossy coat).

Smear-less ribbon (Wax resin ribbon)

Good match for coated paper. The printed image will resist water

 

and light rubbing.

Scratch and solvent resistance ribbon

Very good match for plastic films (synthetic paper, PET,

 

polyimide, etc.)

 

Scratch and solvent resistance

 

Heat resistance with PET and polyimide.
