Digital Label and Decal Press 2 UserÕs Manual
compatible with the #200-Series dye-sublimation ribbon. The #200-Series stock is
available in white only, with a general purpose permanent adhesive ideal for
adhering to corrugated, glass, metals, and some plastics. The sheet size of this print
media is 12Ó x 20Ó (305 x 508mm), and it comes packaged in 100 sheet quantities.
#300-Series Vinyl Label and Decal Stock
#300-Series vinyl stock is distinguished by a BLACK-and-WHITE package cover
sheet and is designed only for use with #300-Series ribbons. Together, the #300-
Series materials produce the digital pressÕ most durable form of output suitable for
more challenging indoor/outdoor applications.
Vinyl stock is used in a wide variety of applications where an economical yet
durable label or decal is required. Typical uses for vinyl materials include window
and door decals, automotive decals, outdoor signs, and more. Vinyl stock is
available in both a cast (white or clear) and a calendered (white) form. Cast vinyl is
very thin and conforms easily to curves, over rivets, etc. Calendered vinyl is
slightly thicker and is used primarily on flat surfaces. Both types of vinyl provide a
permanent adhesive with a typical indoor/outdoor life of 3-5 years.
A low-tack adhesive clear vinyl is also available. This soft, removable vinyl is
similar to static-cling vinyl and is perfect for window decals and other transparent
applications. All #300-Series vinyl stock has a sheet size of 12Ó x 20Ó (305 x 508mm)
and comes packaged in 100 sheet quantities.
#300-Series UL-Recognized Polyester Labels and Decals
A special #300-Series black ribbon is available for printing UL-recognized labels
and decals onto special white gloss, silver matte, brushed silver, or brushed gold
polyester stock. When used together, these materials can be used to produce rating
plates and other labels and decals requiring UL listings. These materials can also be
used for more general applications such as producing nameplates, faceplates, and
more.
The UL ribbon provides 200 prints. The polyester stock has a sheet size of 12Ó x 20Ó
(305 x 508mm), is packaged in 100 sheet quantities, and has a general purpose
permanent adhesive. For best results, polyester stock should only be used with the
special black UL-recognized ribbon.
NOTE: Although the #300-Series Black UL-Recognized Ribbon provides maximum print quality
when printing onto #300-Series Polyesters, you may also achieve acceptable results by
using the variety of other #300-Series Resin Ribbons with the polyester materials. If doing
so, increase the Intensity setting within the printer driver setup window (see Section 6-D).
Note that print quality may vary when using the standard resin ribbons with the polyester
materials and, therefore, is not guaranteed.
IMPORTANT!
Always seal print media in its original packaging and place on a smooth, flat
surface when not in use. Do not stack objects on top of the print media or place
more than 500 sheets in a single stack. Print media must not be exposed to excess
dust, heat, direct sunlight, or moisture and must not be allowed to curl or bend.
