Technical Overview
These address labels utilize direct thermal printing technology, which activates specialized coating on the paper surface through controlled heat application from compatible Brother printers. This method produces sharp, smudge-resistant text and graphics without requiring ribbons, ink, or toner supplies.
The Dura-Coated paper construction enhances durability and print clarity while providing resistance to fading and environmental factors that can compromise label legibility over time. Each roll contains 400 individual labels, offering extended usage between reloads for continuous labeling operations.
Relevant factors for this section include Label Width, Label Length, Number of Labels per Roll, Color Family.
