7.3 Recommended Media and Ribbon Types
(1) Media type
Media type Description
Vellum paper and labels General use for low cost applications.
Coated paper
Matt coated paper
General use including applications that require small letters and/or symbols.
Glossy coated paper
Used where a high-grade finish is required
Plastic films
Synthetic film (Polypropylene, etc.)
This water-proof and solvent-resistant material has high physical strength
and low-temperature resistance, but poor heat resistance (dependant upon
material). This material can be used for labels stuck to recyclable
containers, so it can be recycled in the same process.
PET film
This water-proof and solvent-resistant material has high physical strength,
and low-temperature resistance as well as heat resistance. This material is
used for many applications, especially where high durability is required.
Mode/serial plate labels, caution labels, etc.
Polyimide
This material gives the best performance on heat resistance (greater than
PET film). It is often used for PCB labels as it can withstand passage
through a solder bath.

OTES:
1. To ensure print quality and print head life use only TOSHIBA TEC specified ribbons.
2. Too much difference in width between media and ribbon may cause ribbon wrinkles. To avoid ribbon
wrinkles use a ribbon for proper media width shown in the above table. Do not use a ribbon that is narrower
than media.
3. When discarding ribbons, please follow the local rule.
