FAQs
What type of ribbon is required for this label?
The Zebra PolyE 3100T labels are designed for thermal transfer printing and require a resin ribbon, such as the Zebra 4800, for durable and high-quality prints.
Can these labels be used with direct thermal printers?
No, these labels are specifically designed for thermal transfer printing and will not produce a legible image using a direct thermal printer.
What are the dimensions of each label?
Each label measures 102mm in width and 152mm in height.
How many labels are on one roll?
Each roll contains 950 labels.
Are these labels waterproof?
While the polyethylene material offers good resistance to moisture and water, the permanent acrylic adhesive's full performance might be affected by prolonged submersion. They are water-resistant, not fully waterproof for extended immersion.
What is the core diameter of the roll?
The core diameter of the label roll is 76mm (3 inches).
Can these labels be used outdoors?
These labels are durable and water-resistant, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, prolonged exposure to extreme UV light and harsh weather conditions may degrade the label and print over time. For critical outdoor use, testing is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Print is faint or smudged.
Ensure you are using a resin ribbon and that the printhead is clean. Adjust print darkness and speed settings on your printer. Verify the ribbon is correctly installed and tensioned.
Labels are not feeding correctly.
Check that the roll is loaded correctly and securely. Ensure the media guides are adjusted properly for the label width. Verify the gap sensor is clean and unobstructed.
Adhesive is not strong enough.
Ensure the label and application surface are clean and dry. Allow adequate dwell time for the adhesive to bond. Check that the environmental conditions are within the recommended range for acrylic adhesives.
Printer is not detecting the label gap.
Clean the label gap sensor on your printer. Ensure the gap between labels is consistent and sufficiently large for the sensor to detect. Consult your printer manual for specific gap detection settings.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and resistant to environmental factors like moisture.
- High-quality glossy finish for professional appearance.
- Permanent adhesive ensures labels stay put.
- Large label size offers ample space for information.
- High label count per roll minimizes downtime.
- Designed for clear, crisp thermal transfer printing.
Cons
- Requires a specific resin ribbon (e.g., Zebra 4800) for optimal printing, adding to cost.
- Glossy finish may cause glare in certain lighting conditions.
- Labels are not perforated, requiring a printer with precise cutting capabilities.
- Polyethylene material might not adhere well to extremely low-surface-energy plastics without specific printer/application adjustments.
- Larger label size may not be suitable for very small items.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your thermal transfer printer is compatible with labels of 102mm width and a 200mm maximum roll diameter.
- Load the Zebra PolyE 3100T roll onto the printer's spindle, aligning it correctly with the media guides.
- Install the recommended Zebra 4800 resin ribbon, ensuring it is properly threaded through the printer.
- Calibrate your printer to recognize the label size and gap settings. Consult your printer's manual for specific instructions.
Compatibility:
- Printers: Compatible with most Zebra thermal transfer printers and other brands that support 102mm width labels, 76mm core size, and 200mm roll diameter. Always check your printer's specifications.
- Ribbons: Requires a resin ribbon (e.g., Zebra 4800) for thermal transfer printing. Direct thermal printing is not supported with this label type.
Care:
- Store labels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain adhesive properties.
- Clean the printer's printhead regularly according to the printer manufacturer's recommendations to ensure optimal print quality and prevent damage.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals.
