2.2 Selecting Media and Ribbon

Printing supplies are a major consideration in determining the quality of the final product. Printing bar

codes or detailed images on inexpensive direct thermal and thermal transfer media can be difficult. Many

low-cost direct thermal stocks have raised reaction temperatures and therefore require higher heat values

or slower speeds to print a clear image. In some cases, to print detailed images at high speeds, media with

a low reaction or release temperature is required because the media will not be stretched beyond its limits.

A brief overview of the two different media categories is included below. For information regarding a

specific application always consult a qualified media specialist or a Datamax Media Representative.

Direct Thermal Media

Three important factors to consider when selecting a direct thermal stock:

• The abrasive qualities of the material that covers the thermal reactive layer of the media.

• The amount of heat required to burn an image into the media.
