Label material
The printer is desi
g
ned for thermal direct printin
g
. The label material should
be of low abrasive behaviour of the surface structure and low start tempera-
ture for the colour development.
If the material is extremel
y
abrasive, the printhead is faster worn as usual.
Similar conditions prevail with hi
g
h start temperature. Material and printhead
require a lon
g
er coolin
g
down period, the printin
g
qualit
y
is more critical and
the printhead is faster worn as on a normal rate.
