Selection guidance
List chemicals, concentration, contact time and cleaning process before selecting the material and ribbon.
Compatibility checks
- Confirm direct thermal versus thermal transfer print technology.
- For thermal transfer, test the ribbon with the exact facestock and coating.
- Qualify the adhesive on the real substrate, at the actual application temperature.
- Validate barcode readability after expected handling and exposure.
