Barcode Labels for TSC TTP 384MT Printer:
The TSC TTP-384MT is an industrial barcode label printer that utilizes thermal transfer printing. This means it requires ribbons in conjunction with labels to create barcode labels. Here’s a breakdown to assist you in selecting the most suitable labels for your needs:
Compatible Label Types (Thermal Transfer Only):
Since the TTP-384MT uses thermal transfer printing, it’s incompatible with direct thermal labels. Direct thermal labels use heat-sensitive material and wouldn’t work with a ribbon.
Therefore, you’ll need to use thermal transfer labels with the TTP-384MT printer. These labels come in a variety of materials suited for different applications:
- Paper: Affordable option for short-term applications like internal labels or work-in-progress tags. However, paper labels are not very durable and can be susceptible to moisture, fading, or tearing.
- Plastic: More durable than paper and can withstand some moisture and abrasion. Ideal for moderate-duty applications like product labeling or shipping labels with moderate handling.
- Polyester: Offers excellent durability and resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and high temperatures. Ideal for labels that need a long lifespan or will be exposed to harsh environments, such as outdoor use or labels on chemicals.
- Metal: Most durable option, ideal for labels exposed to extreme conditions or requiring high resistance to chemicals and abrasion. Examples include asset tags for machinery or labels for chemical drums.
Barcode Ribbons for TSC TTP 384MT Printer:
The TSC TTP-384MT is an industrial thermal transfer printer, so you’ll need ribbons alongside labels to create barcode labels. Here’s a guide to selecting the most suitable ribbons for your needs:
Types of Ribbons:
There are two main types of ribbons used in thermal transfer printing:
- Wax Ribbons:
- Most budget-friendly option, suited for general-purpose printing on paper and cardstock labels.
- Offer good print quality for basic barcodes and text, but lack durability.
- Not ideal for labels exposed to harsh chemicals, abrasion, or extreme temperatures.
- Resin Ribbons:
- Provide superior durability and resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and high temperatures compared to wax ribbons.
- Best choice for labels that need a long lifespan or exposure to harsh conditions.
- Generally more expensive than wax ribbons.
Additional Ribbon Options: Wax/Resin Ribbons, Wash/Resistant Ribbons, High-Temperature Ribbons.
Selecting the Right Ribbon:
The ideal ribbon for your TTP-384MT depends on several factors:
- Label Durability: How long should the labels last? Harsh environments necessitate resin ribbons.
- Printing Environment: Will the labels be exposed to chemicals, abrasion, or high temperatures? Choose a resistant ribbon accordingly.
- Material of Labels You’re Using: Wax ribbons work well with paper and cardstock labels, while resin ribbons are better suited for synthetics like polyester or metal.
- Cost: Wax ribbons are budget-friendly, while resin ribbons offer superior durability but at a higher cost.
