General use for low cost applications.
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
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.
This ribbon is mainly used for vellum paper and labels. It has a
very high ink density to cope with uneven printing surface
Good match for coated paper (Matt coat and glossy coat).
Good match for coated paper. The printed image will resist water
and light rubbing.
Very good match for plastic films (synthetic paper, PET,
polyimide, etc.)
Scratch and solvent resistance
