A. ABOUT INK CARTRIDGES AND LABEL MATERIAL
(PIGMENT-BASED VS. DYE-BASED INKS,
GLOSS VS. PLAIN PAPER)
Label Material: Primera’s TuffCoat High Gloss and Semi-Gloss
label materials have been specifically designed to be highly
absorbent to allow water-based inkjet inks to dry quickly.
While providing for immediate smudge-resistance after
printing, this characteristic also makes the sheet receptive
to certain airborne contaminants and could result in a
discoloration of unprinted areas. Proper testing in the final
application environment is strongly recommended, especially
when used on or near products with aromatic vapors or
products containing volatile solvents.As with all pressure
sensitive materials, this product should be tested thoroughly
under end-use conditions to ensure it meets the requirements
of the specific application.
Ink Cartridges: For full-color printing, a 3-color ink cartridge
is available. This cartridge contains the three process-color
inks of yellow, magenta, and cyan, which combine to produce
up to 16.7 million printable colors and works very well on all
label stocks.
Two different Monochrome ink cartridges are available for
the printer. First is the Pigment-Based Monochrome Black.
Pigment-Based inks are for use with plain paper stock. Plain
paper stocks are desirable because of their low cost but offer
little resistance to water. The second type of black cartridge
available is the Dye-Based Monochrome Black. Dye-Based
inks are formulated for high-gloss and semi-gloss label stock.
