* The Reflective/Black Mark should be opaque to infrared light. The mark should be between
the labels. The end of the mark should correspond with the beginning of the label.
** This is the recommended maximum. There are two factors that determine whether the
applicator will accept any particular stock thickness:
1.
2.
If you are using reflective label-sensing mode, number 2 does not apply. The fact that the sensor
must read through the backing in die cut mode will limit the thickness much more than the
applicators ability to pull the paper through the drive rollers. However, if you adjust the opacity
level of the liner enough to allow the label to be seen by the stock sensor, the thickness will only
be limited by the applicators ability to pull it through the drive rollers. For these reasons the
weight or thickness of the liner is a variable that cannot easily be defined. Primera recommends
and uses 40# liner with all label stock. It is important to test all label stock with the intended
applicator before ordering large quantities!
*** Inner core diameter can be greater than 3.0". However, as the inner core diameter increases
beyond 3.0" the acceptable outer diameter decreases. If there is any doubt, contact Technical
Support to test the label stock.
