The JTR
documents the testing results. Testing consisted of applying ink and label
alternatives onto bare and coated panels. Nine alternative inks and ten
alternative labels were tested. Alternatives that passed screening tests
underwent extensive testing on several substrates.
Testing was completed in March 2001 with two alternate inks approved
for use on several substrates:
Joint Test Report
- DPI 311 (Dell Marking Systems, Inc.)
- Wilmark #44 (Willard Marking Devices Corporation).
Selection of a label alternative should be made by determining the application (Grade A, B, or C), identifying the substrate and coatings, and considering the label properties (glossy, matte, white, clear, metal, or heat resistance). The following label systems were approved for Grade A applications on at least one substrate:
- Brady B-107 labels using an HP DeskJet 600 Series with a 51629A ink cartridge
- Brady B-423 labels using the Zebra thermal transfer printer and R6004 thermal transfer ribbon
- Brady B-437 labels using the Zebra thermal transfer printer and R4304 thermal transfer ribbon
- Brady B-652 labels using a LaserJet III series printer with toner cartridge 92295A
- Brady B-747 labels using a LaserJet III series printer with toner cartridge 92295A
- Chritchley (Tyco Electronics) Clear Polyester labels using a Zebra thermal transfer printer and ribbon ·
- Chritchley (Tyco Electronics) Metallized Thermal Transfer labels using a Zebra thermal transfer printer and ribbon
- Chritchley (Tyco Electronics) White Polyester Film labels using a Zebra thermal transfer printer and ribbon
- Tyton 822 label using a Zebra thermal transfer printer with a Tyton TT900OUT thermal transfer ribbon
- Tyton 900 labels using a Zebra thermal transfer printer with a Tyton TT900OUT thermal transfer ribbon.
Demonstration of ink alternatives
are occurred at TYAD. NADEP-JAX
has implemented thermal transfer labeling alternatives in place of silk
screening. To
