Print Quality

The 4630 and 4830 printers were designed and configured at the factory to
provide maximum print quality for both direct thermal and thermal transfer
media.
It is important that you select the proper media when printing at higher
speeds. Using good quality media reduces the occurrence of images that fade
or bleed. If you want to print quality labels at higher print speeds, you must
select media with low reaction or release imaging temperatures. Printing at
lower speeds produces the highest quality labels. Please consult your Intermec
representative to decide the proper media for your application.
There are many factors that need to be considered before you can achieve
maximum print quality. These factors are addressed in the following sections.

Media Selection

The choice of media is one of the most important decisions you can make
concerning print quality. The printer supports a wide selection of both direct
thermal and thermal transfer media. To achieve optimum performance in your
application, you must evaluate requirements such as print speed and
environmental conditions.
