Pressure-Sensitive Labels

USAGE GUIDELINES FOR XEROX COLOR COPIERS AND PRINTERS

Pressure-Sensitive Labels

Contact your Xerox representative or visit the Xerox website for the current list of recommended materials for your copier/printer.

Description and expectations

Pressure-sensitive label stock consists of three layers: the face sheet, the pressure sensitive adhesive, and the backing or release sheet. There are many types of face sheets and label weights available. To avoid feeding and image quality problems, it is very important to run labels with the correct balance of properties. The recommended Xerox copier/printer labels have been specifically designed to give optimum performance. They have low weight/low stiffness for improved feeding. USA versions have a pattern-printed adhesive (no adhesive within 1/16 inch of the edges of the sheets) to reduce fuser contamination.

Refer to the Recommended Materials list for your copier/printer to determine if you can run labels on your machine, and if so, which labels are recommended.

Hints, tips and testing results

Xerox testing has shown the following:

•When the recommended materials are run, with the correct tray, mode and orientation, feeding performance and image quality is good but will not equal the performance of 24 lb (90 g/m2) Color Xpressions paper.

•Do not use the Normal paper mode when running labels. Use the Heavy Weight or Thick paper mode. See your Recommended Materials list for more specific information.

•In general, labels with a low weight face, backing sheet, and a pattern-printed adhesive will run successfully. Overall weight should be less than 203 g/m2. Run labels with the grain parallel to the leading edge.

If attempting to use labels that have not been recommended, first try a small quantity to test the performance, then consult your local Xerox representative for agreement on its use.

CAUTION: Do not use dry gum labels (those that require moistening before being applied) as they can cause severe machine contamination problems.
