2A Label and Roll Specifications
Two types of media can be used.
1. Digital Die-Cut Labels. If you are using the printer to digitally die-cut your own shapes and
sizes only Primera label stock can be used. This media comes from Primera with a smart chip
that identifies the media, tracks the percentage remaining and automatically sets the sensor
type to continuous. You will know it is installed when you see the Digital Die-cut Media
percentage in the upper right corner of PrintHub. If you do not see this indication, the digital
die cutter will not be enabled and you will not be able to cut shapes.
The following media types are currently available from Primera. We will be adding more as
additional types are discovered, tested and validated.
SKU Media Description
057212 Gloss BOPP Durable Synthetic Polypropylene Media, 150 ft
057211 Premium Gloss Paper Premium Paper Media, 150 ft
057215 Magnetic Material White Gloss Magnetic Media, 100 ft
Other media cannot be used even if you take the chip from new/old Primera media for the following
reasons:
•
Old chips cannot be reused once they reach 0% remaining.
•
Other media has liner that may be too thin. Liner on Primera media is specially created for
our printer to prevent cut through to the wear strip
•
The dust created from cutting through the inkjet printable topcoat can be excessive on some
media. This can cause frequent print cartridge clogging and other problems.
