A. ABOUT INK CARTRIDGES AND LABEL MATERIAL
( PIGMENT-BASED VS. DYE-BASED INKS ,
GLOSS VS. PLAIN PAPER)
For full-color printing, a 3-color ink cartridge is available. This
cartridge contains the three process-color inks of yellow,
magenta, and cyan, which combine to produce up to 16.7
million printable colors and works very well on all label
stocks.
Two different Monochrome ink cartridges are available for
the printer. First is the Pigment-Based Monochrome Black .
Pigment-Based inks are for use with plain paper stock. Plain
paper stocks are desirable because of their low cost but offer
little resistance to water. The second type of black cartridge
available is the Dye-Based Monochrome Black . Dye-Based
inks are formulated for high-gloss and semi-gloss label stock .

NOTE: If you are printing barcodes on your labels it is recommended that
you test your combination of label stock and cartridge to make sure
the barcodes can be read accurately prior to committing to a large
purchase of supplies.
B. INSTALLING LABEL STOCK
Your printer will utilize a wide variety of paper label stock. As
long as the label stock is paper and can receive ink jet printing
and is within the allotted size, it will work in the printer.
Primera carries a large variety of paper label stock that has
been converted and ready for use with your printer.
