Polyester labels are sometimes referred to Mylar and Fantastock labels. Polyester is more durable than polypropylene. Polyester labels can withstand higher temperatures and also has superior abrasion resistance when compared to polypropylene. Polyester labels are available in White and Silver Gloss finishes. Most polyester labels such as our Fantastock, are UL recognized when used with an approved UL recognized Resin ribbon such as Sony's TR4070 Resin Ribbon.

Thermal Transfer Labels give a higher resolution and longer lasting image than any other comparable system.

Thermal Transfer Paper labels are the most common type, as well as the least expensive type of label for your thermal transfer printer. Since the label is made of paper, the label is susceptible to tearing. A Wax or Wax/Resin combination ribbon is used to print on a paper label. Thermal Transfer Paper labels are very economical.

Polypropylene is also known by the brand name of Kimdura?. Some automotive companies require the use of Polypropylene labels on parts being shipped to their assembly lines. Polypropylene is resistant to moisture tearing, dirt and grease. Some other suitable applications include identification and barcoding for warehouse shelf and bin labels. You can use wax and wax/resin ribbons to print on polypropylene labels.

If your thermal printer requires the use of ribbons, you need to purchase Thermal Transfer Labels. If your machine does not use ribbons, you will need direct transfer labels . Most printers have the capability to be set up to use either thermal or direct transfer labels, so we would be unable to tell you which you had if you called us with your Make and Model number.

Amswer: Direct Thermal labels are a treated paper which is sensitive to heat. When the label passes below the printer's printhead, the heat of the printhead causes the paper to change color. This type of label is often used in environments where the label will not be subjected to heat or sunlight and will be used for a shorter period of time, such as a shipping label. Thermal Transfer labels are a coated paper which works in conjunction with a ink ribbon.

There is no ribbon required for direct thermal printing, therefore making the cost per label slightly cheaper.

Thermal transfer overlaminate is considered the traditional overlaminate material for video-imageable PVC cards. Thermal transfer overlaminate offers full edge-to-edge coverage, but lacks durability. It is a resin-based material, much like the overlay from the color ribbon. It offers only a marginal increase in protection against abrasion but offers no additional UV or dye-migration resistance.

Thermal transfer fax roll is a thermal transfer film ribbon for plain paper faxes which ensures that the print does not fade. The print is transferred to paper by a heated printhead.

Those are three very different methods for printing your artwork on your CD or DVD. We always recommend screenprinting (silkscreen) for the highest quality/durability and can print up to 6 colors onto your disc. If you artwork is only black text and a small volume, we may opt to black thermal print onto them. This is a black wax print which looks comprable to screenprint if it's just text.

The main difference is direct thermal printing does not use a ribbon. Direct thermal printing does require the use of special heat sensitive substrate material. The printer head activates the heat sensitive coating on this material forming a black image. Thermal transfer printing uses a ribbon from which ink is transferred under heat and pressure to the substrate. The color and other characteristics of the imprint can be changed by changing ribbons.

a) Thermal direct labels are manufactured using a specially designed face paper which reacts to heat. To determine whether a paper is thermal or not, simply strike a match and hold the flame close to the paper. If the paper blackens or discolours it is thermal direct paper. (b) Thermal transfer labels are designed to accept heat activated ink from the ribbon of a thermal transfer printer. Note: The thermal transfer paper itself does not react to heat.

The basic difference between Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfers labels is the Direct Thermal labels DO NOT require a ribbon. Direct Thermal labels have a shorter label life than Thermal Transfer labels. Direct Thermal labels are used primarily in applications such as shipping labels. Direct thermal labels can cost 20-40% more per label, however there is no ribbon cost and setup time is reduced since the operator is only changing labels.

Thermal transfers are different from spot screen-printing a logo onto a product; therefore, the pricing table is different as well. Each logo is pressed onto the light fabric for a clean, photo quality finish. Therefore pricing is based on the size of the logo, not by how many colors the logo contains. Here is a table with our thermal transfer prices below. Please note there is a discount as the quantity of the items increases. (Insert the table below)

A Bar Code Thermal Transfer Printer is a label printer that prints images using heat to "melt" ink (from an ink-ribbon) onto a variety of paper and synthetic material labels. A wide variety of media and ribbon formulations are available, providing the ability to print BarCode labels for virtually any application, including very long-life and extreme environment applications.

ORACAL® intermediate Series 651 and high performance Series 751 are engineered to perform extremely well with thermal-transfer printers. The ORAJET® 3000 series is engineered specifically for solvent and thermal-transfer printing. They are treated to remove the electrostatic properties of the film so as to not attract airborne contaminants.

Polyester is synthetic/man-made resin formed by the condensation of polyhydric alcohols (alcohols containing more than one hydroxyl group) with dibasic acids (acids containing two replaceable hydrogen atoms). Polyesters are thermosetting plastics, used in making synthetic fibers, such as Dacron and Terylene, and constructional plastics. The outstanding characteristics of polyesters is their ability to resist wrinkling and to spring back into shape when creased.

You can use damp cloth with antiseptic to clean the thermal system but do not spray water inside or outside the thermal system cubicle. Komeda's thermal system operates on the natural infrared energy that comes from the sun which is beneficial to the overall health of humans. The technology to harness that energy has been tapped to pass strict international safety standards to ensure that no harmful toxins and gas will be emitted in its operation. It was also manufactured to be rust-free.

Inkjet and thermal are two approaches to printing CD-R on-demand. Inkjet printing produces realistic images, but not permanent and scratch and smudge easily. Thermal printing produces color custom labels that are highly durable and resistant to damage, but cannot create complex color graphic content. Paper labels have their purpose but they look unprofessional and can potentially damage the CD drive.

When the sun warms the surface of the earth and the upper air is cooler than the ground, warm air currents rise to meet the cooler upper air. At this time they form cumulus clouds, big puffy fair weather clouds. Sailplanes at Sugarbush often follow these clouds to an altitude of 5,000 feet or more.

Ribbons typically contain a high percentage of wax-based materials. These materials contribute to the melting point of the ribbon which affect the amount of energy necessary to print. Since the waxes we use, in general, have lower melting points than the resins used, printing with wax ribbons typically requires less energy than printing with wax/resin or resin ribbons.

These are typically wax-based ribbons that print well on a variety of coated and some uncoated paper receivers, as well as some synthetics. Image durability for these ribbons is acceptable for applications where little physical contact with the printed image is likely to occur or where image life is short term (shipping labels). These ribbons are usually the least expensive. These are typically wax/resin ribbons that print well on a variety of coated and synthetic receivers.

First off, ALL are excellent methods for putting surface artwork on your media; BUT some methods are better suited for certain artwork than others. Thermal Transfer printed CDs and DVDs: This is the quickest and most cost effective method for printing directly on the surface of the CD or DVD. However, there are limits to this type of printing. This type of printing will print in single colors only; Black (default), Red, Blue.

Inkjet printing* and thermal transfer printing are commonly used for customizing the surfaces of CD-R discs but each uses different technology to place inks onto the printing surface of the discs. It is important to remember that inkjet printable and thermal printable CD-Rs are not interchangeable. In inkjet printers*, inks are sprayed, via droplets of an ink solution, onto a specially designed surface material on the disc.

The main difference is the printing speed. Using NiceDrivers, you can considerably increase the speed of printing. Using other drivers, you can come across the impossibility of the support of some advanced printers or program functionality. The most powerful NiceLabel's characteristics are its connectivity and integration options. You can use NiceLabel for label design and have a complete control of printing, data on the label, target printer, and label quantity directly from your application.

Value labels are comments or descriptions (up to 40 characters long) that can be assigned to specific text/numeric values in STATISTICA datasets. Each value of a variable can have a label assigned to it. Value labels can be displayed and edited directly in the spreadsheet (as well as in the Text Values Manager dialog). Value labels are automatically used in the output of all analyses which involve individual values (e.g., frequencies, crosstabulations, breakdowns, etc.).
