Features

  • 2.0 mil gloss topcoated white polyester provides consistent surface smoothness, excellent dimensional stability and endurance to varying temperatures
  • Topcoat resists smudging and abrasion when printed with resin and wax/resin thermal transfer ribbons
  • Topcoat is compatible with color and black resin and wax/resin thermal transfer ribbons (we recommend evaluating the intended ribbon and ink system for compatibility with the product under the application conditions)
  • Static dissipating additives in the topcoat reduce the risk of print voids due to static generated at the print head
  • Acrylic adhesive offers high initial tack, high shear, and high ultimate bond to a wide variety of rough textured surfaces, including low-surface energy plastics and painted metal
  • Backed with a 50 lb. bleached Kraft release liner ideal for roll-form converting
  • Liner is suitable for optical sensing on most thermal transfer printers
