Media Calibration Requires thermal sensitivity adjustments compared to standard labels due to protective coating. Refer to printer manual for specific calibration procedures. Avoid storing rolls in direct sunlight or temperatures exceeding 40°C before use. Printer compatibility includes Zebra ZD4xx series, SATO CL4NX, Honeywell PX940, and Godex RT700i printers. Always perform test prints when introducing a new batch. Technical Questions & Answers What does "Three Proof" designation mean for thermal labels? The "Three Proof" classification indicates the label has been engineered to withstand water exposure (waterproof), resist oil and chemical penetration (oil-proof), and maintain integrity under physical stress (tear-proof). This is achieved through a proprietary three-layer coating system and specialized base materials. How does thermal printing work without ink on these labels? Direct thermal labels utilize heat-sensitive coating that darkens when exposed to the thermal printhead elements. The Three Proof 100mm X 150mm labels contain protected thermochromic compounds between 140-200°C activation temperature for crisp barcode formation. What temperature range can these labels withstand after application? Kingcolor Paper's formulation maintains adhesion and legibility from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F). The adhesive system provides strongest bonding between 15-40°C with tested performance at extreme temperatures for time-limited exposure. Are these labels compliant with international shipping standards? Yes, the Three Proof 100mm X 150mm Direct Thermal Label Roll Self Adhesive Label Stickers 4x6 meets GS1 standards for barcode printing, ISO 15394 for direct thermal shipping labels, and ISTA 3E certification for packaging. Material safety compliance includes RoHS and REACH. How long do printed images remain legible on these labels? Under standard indoor conditions (20-25°C), printed information remains legible for 12-18 months. The protective top coat reduces UV degradation by 70% compared to standard thermal materials. In outdoor applications, expect 6-9 months of legibility depending on sun exposure. Can these labels be applied to curved surfaces? The medium-tack adhesive is formulated for surfaces with curvature up to 30mm radius. For tighter curves, Kingcolor offers a high-flex formulation requiring special order. Standard labels achieve 100% surface contact on pipes down to 50mm diameter. What surface preparation is needed before application? Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or silicone residues. ISO cleanliness standard B Sa2½ is recommended for metal surfaces. Ambient temperature during application should be above 10°C. Apply firm pressure across the entire label surface. Performance Validation "Accelerated aging tests of three-proof thermal labels demonstrated superior print retention and adhesion properties. After 500 hours of QUV exposure, samples retained 92% barcode scannability compared to 64% for conventional thermal labels."
