Trying To Ease Roll Label Materials Selection
Given the wide choice of desktop printers available for self-adhesive roll-label applications, the materials selection process has become an increasingly complex task.
Said Gwenaelle Legarrec, Avery Dennison's product manager for thermal papers: "This is a groundbreaking advance in direct thermal materials.
Our aim was to develop a labelstock that combined the best qualities of both standard direct thermal print and thermal transfer print in a laminate that can run at high speed through direct thermal printers.
It has real implications for the VIP market." Fasson Thermal Premium Top S 10 D is claimed to offer high performance characteristics for both converters and end users.

Silicone Release Papers - New Narrow Web Markets?
Siliconised release papers and films give the narrow-web converter the opportunity to explore a host of niches, beyond labels alone.
The facestock top coating enables quality pre-printing by the traditional print processes where required, as well as high direct thermal print resolution and image density said the company.
It gives good definition and legibility even with small barcodes and texts in small point sizes and at high print speeds.
The company believes that the product's physical structure overcomes many of the disadvantages of other direct thermal papers, particularly image fading, surface smear and background discolouration.
It is also said to resist plasticisers, oil and alcohol, moisture, UV light, abrasion, and high temperatures, even above 70 degrees C.
Fasson Thermal Premium Top S 10 D is available as standard with a choice of two permanent adhesives, both of which are claimed to be suitable for high-speed conversion.
Avery Dennison believes that the product can be used in a wide range of end-use applications - many of them normally associated with the greater durability of thermal transfer printed labels - from in-store pricing, inventory, transportation and logistics labelling to archiving, medical and laboratory use and in high temperatures, such as those encountered on labels for heated ready meals or heat-shrink wrapping.
Legarrec added: "With Fasson Thermal Premium Top S 10 D, you can really experience the qualities of thermal transfer print with a direct thermal medium.
It's suitable for all the tasks where you would normally use a wax thermal transfer ribbon but as there is no ribbon involved, the job is easier to handle, and you benefit from cost savings in terms of time, a reduced media inventory, and less waste.
Best of all, its long-term storage capability brings critical, durable labelling applications within the capability of direct thermal print.".
