Extensive DK Label Tests
Brother DK film material withstands moderate* abrasion without affecting
the legibility of the text.
Brother DK paper labels protect against accidental marks and scratches, due to a
special coating applied to the surface of the paper labels.
The Abrasion Test Procedure
A 1kg sanding device was passed over Brother DK film, paper and 2-colour paper
labels. After 50 return passes the DK film labels were completely unaffected.
The DK paper and 2-colour paper labels’ print quality stayed completely
unaffected, even though slight scratches appeared on the paper itself.

*For exposure to heavier abrasion we recommend using Brother TZe laminated labels in one of our P-touch Labelling Machines
= Not affected
Like all direct thermal labels, Brother DK paper, 2-colour paper and film labels are not designed for durable, permanent
labelling. However, as these tests show, Brother DK paper, 2-colour paper and film labels are an excellent solution for
short-term labelling. If durable, long term labelling is required then Brother TZe tapes should be used.
