Printing on Various Papers

⿟Printing on Various Papers

Usable Media Types

For high-quality printing it is necessary to use paper that satisfies conditions regarding quality,
thickness, paper finish, etc. If printing on paper not recommended by Afinia Label, thoroughly test
the print quality and paper traveling performance, etc., and check that there are no impediments
before use.

If using a (paper) medium that is curled or wrinkled before printing, print quality and paper
traveling performance cannot be assured.

Paper Types, Size, and Thickness

 Roll Paper Specifications
Reference

 Refer to the “Maintenance Guide” for specific paper sizes.

Roll Paper Types
Media Form Description
Continuous Paper Paper wound on a roll
Continuous Paper (Black Mark) Paper wound in a roll with black marks printed on the back surface
Die-cut Label (Gap) Paper that is die-cut into a label shape
Die-cut Label (Black Mark) Paper that is die-cut into a label shape with black marks printed on the back
surface
Continuous Label Paper that is not die-cut into a label shape, with the entire surface covered with
label paper
Continuous Label (Black Mark) Paper that is not die-cut into a label shape, with the entire surface covered with
label paper and black marks printed on the back surface

Media Type Description

Plain Wood-free Paper
Plain Labels Label paper made of wood-free paper
Glossy Labels Label paper made of glossy paper
Film Labels Label media made of film
Film Film

Roll Paper Size

Roll Outside Diameter No greater than 203.2 mm (8 inches)
Paper Width 25.4 to 130 mm (1 to 5.12 inches)
*
Paper Thickness 0.07 mm to 0.25 mm (0.003 to 0.0098 inches)
Roll Core Width Same as roll paper
Roll Core Inner Diameter 76.2 mm

Note `

* When there is backing paper, total thickness includes backing paper.

 Using metal foil paper or conductive paper creates the risk of defective printing due to electrical discharge, and device
malfunction.
 Use paper that has black marks printed on its back surface (non-printing surface). Black marks printed on the front surface
cannot be detected.
 Use paper with black marks printed with carbon ink. Use paper with black marks that have a reflective index of less than 10%.

- 12 -
 Printing on Various Papers

 Die-cut labels that are used in Gap Mode must satisfy the following conditions.
The transparency of the label part (including both the label and the label liner) must be below 25%.
The liners must be within a range of 10% to 45% transparent. However, the transparency of the liners must be more than 1.8
times the transparency of the label part.
 Die-cut labels that are used in Gap Mode cannot use transparent liners or labels.
 Die-cut labels that are used in Black Mark Mode cannot use transparent liners.
 Use continuous labels that have been smoothed on both edges and have been dry edge processed. Recommended
specifications are for paper that has 2 mm of liner on both edges. Please refer to the “Maintenance Guide” for details.
 Thermal paper will become discolored and deformed by heat used for fusing. Do not use it.
 Use film that can withstand heat up to 230°C. Use of film that is not heat resistant creates the risk of film deformation by heat
used for fusing, paper jams, and device malfunction.
 Do not use a liner on which glue is smeared. It will not feed correctly in the equipment. In the worst case, it could damage the
equipment.
 Cast-coated paper is not recommended. Printing quality cannot be guaranteed when it is used.
 If the paper length, label length, or black Mark Interval for a single sheet is less than 4 inches, blank sheets may be printed to
satisfy the paper length that can be fed.
 When printing on paper that is cut to less than 152 mm (6 inches) long in the direction that media is fed, it may feed at an
angle.
If this happens, print it so there is a continuous length that is longer than 152 mm (6 inches).
 When printing on paper that is very narrow (25.4 mm (1 inch)), it may feed at an angle at about 80 mm from the cut trailing
edge.
 When printing on inside winding paper that is very narrow (25.4 mm (1 inch)), smeared or smudged printing may occur near
the cut trailing edge as the roll diameter gets smaller.
 When printing on inside winding paper that is very narrow (25.4 mm (1 inch)), slight damage may occur at the leading edge
as the roll diameter gets smaller.
 Use of the types of paper below is not supported.
Paper whose roll surfaces are not cut cleanly.
Paper that is connected part way through by tape, etc.
Label paper without backing paper with paste on the front surface
Paper whose labels are easy to peel or are peeling
Paper with paste squeezing out onto the base paper area or affixed to the label surface
Paper that is folded or bent
Paper that has holes in it
Paper that is notched
Paper that has perforations
Paper with different size labels on a single roll
Paper with different paper widths on a single roll
Media that has liners and labels that are both transparent (cannot be used even if it has black marks)
Continuous paper that is transparent (cannot be used even if it has black marks)

 Setting the Paper Weight

Set the printer and printer driver paper weight according to the weight of the paper to be used.

Paper Weight
Setting Value of the
(Total thickness including
Media Weight
backing paper)
76 to 95 μm Light
96 to 140 μm Medium Light
141 to 159 μm Medium
160 to 180 μm Medium Heavy
181 to 199 μm Heavy
200 to 214 μm Ultra Heavy1
215 to 229 μm Ultra Heavy2
230 to 249 μm Ultra Heavy3

Printing on Various Papers

Storing Media
Improper paper storage can cause absorption of
moisture, discoloration, and warping. Note that
printing on such paper can adversely affect print
quality, feeding, etc. Leave packages of media
unopened until you are actually ready to use
them.

 Store media in locations like the

ones described below
 On a flat shelf in a location that is dark and
where there is little moisture
 On a flat table
 An environment with a temperature of 23°C
±1°C and humidity of 50%RH ±2%

 Avoid locations like the ones

described below
 Directly on the floor
 In direct sunlight
 Near the inside surface of an external wall
 On a surface that is uneven or curved
 In a location where electrostatic charge is
generated
 In a location subjected to very high
temperatures or sudden temperature changes
 Next to a photocopying machine, air
conditioning equipment, heater, or duct

Note
 Proper printing may not be possible on paper that has
been stored for a long time.
 Leaving roll paper in an environment where it is exposed
to high temperatures and high humidity for long periods
can cause it to become deformed. Do not use deformed
roll paper. Store roll paper in an environment where the
temperature and humidity are appropriate.
 We recommend putting partially used label paper back
into the vinyl bag it was packaged in, to prevent the paper
from absorbing moisture.

The printer can use either printer driver color
matching or application color matching.

Note
 Even if you are using color matching, the printed colors
may appear dark compared to the colors on the monitor.
This is because the range of colors that can be reproduced
by the device is narrower than the range of colors that
can be reproduced by the monitor, so even if color
matching is used, the vivid colors on the monitor cannot
be reproduced.
