SumiMark® III & IV Marking System Bulletin No. 3
THERMAL TRANSFER RIBBONS SPECIFICATIONS & USE
Standard “SR3 3.25” ribbons are a construction of a polyester carrier with a proprietary wax-resin coating of black, white, or other color. All ribbons have a vendor comformance certification and meet SEIP purchasing specifications and printability requirements (black & white meet SAE-AS81531 permanency testing).
Black ribbon is certified by SEIP to have a 1 year shelf life at storage conditions consistent with SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/5 polyolefin heat shrink tubings (18°C to 35°C). White and other colors of ribbons are certified to a minimum of 1 year shelf life.
Sumimark® “SR3 3.25 super ribbon" is available to provide superior mark permanence, both for resistance to abrasion and aggressive fluids. Black (only) “super ribbon” is very thin with a unique coating that allows for increased thermal printing speeds and lower print-head power requirements.
WARNING!
DO NOT SHUT DOWN PRINTER POWER OR RELEASE THE PRINT HEAD DURING THE PRINTING PROCESS. THIS MAY RESULT IN PRINT HEAD DAMAGE.
