Extensive DK Label Tests
Although DK labels should not be used for long periods of time
outdoors, tests show the yellow DK film material is most suited
for temporary outdoor labelling applications.
The Outdoor Fade Resistance Test Procedure
Brother DK film labels were attached to coated metal plates and placed inside a
fade-inducing chamber and left for a maximum period of 100 hours. In addition,
labels were placed in a natural outdoor environment and inspected for any obvious
changes*.

Outdoor Fade Resistance Test Results
Test results show that DK labels are not ideally suited for use outdoors for periods
over one month. For these applications, we recommend the use of Brother TZe
laminated labels.
DK White Film Before DK Film After 1 Month
DK Yellow Film Before DK Yellow Film After 1 Month
*Different environmental conditions will have varying effects on the printed DK labels, and as
such Brother cannot guarantee that labels placed
in another environment other than those as tested will have the same results as shown.
