Product Information
Full details
This Zebra PolyE 3100T Gloss label roll is designed for users of mid-range to high-end Zebra printers who need durable, high-quality labels. Its key benefit is the glossy, synthetic material that offers excellent resistance to smudging and chemicals, ensuring print longevity. A potential consideration is that it requires a specific ribbon (03200BK10245) for optimal thermal transfer printing, and the permanent adhesive may be difficult to remove once applied. This roll features 1432 white, square labels (102mm x 102mm) with a gap for demarcation, a permanent adhesive, and a gloss finish, ideal for asset tracking, product identification, and harsh environment labeling.

Troubleshooting
Labels not printing correctly (smudged, faint, or incomplete)
Ensure the correct ribbon is installed and tensioned properly. Check that the printhead is clean. Verify that the printer is calibrated to the label size and that the correct print darkness and speed settings are used in the software.
Printer not recognizing the label roll or feeding incorrectly
Confirm the roll is loaded correctly and the core size (76mm) is compatible. Re-run the printer's media calibration process. Ensure the gap sensor is clean and functioning.
Labels peeling off after application
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. Apply firm pressure to the label after placement. For very challenging surfaces, consider if a different adhesive type might be more suitable.
Print is easily scratched or removed
Verify that thermal transfer printing is being used (not direct thermal). Ensure the correct ribbon type and quality are used. Adjust print darkness settings for better ribbon transfer.
