Chapter 4: Labels Preprinted Labels Preprinted Labels To ensure trouble free operation of the printer gap sensor, and to achieve normal print head life, no pre printing should be placed on the label in the gap sensor path or in areas which will be printed by the scale printer. See Figure 7. However, since preprinting is commonly used by many customers the following guidelines must be followed. 1. Inks used for preprinting must be specially formulated for use in thermal printers.
METTLER TOLEDO Impact M User's Guide Special Shaped Labels Labels with shapes other than rectangular will cause gap detection errors if the gap dimension (in the gap sensor path) is outside the limits given in this document, or if the edge of the label shape crosses into and out of the sensor path as shown below. For these cases the black stripe will have to be printed on the back of the liner as shown previously.
Chapter 4: Labels Optical Densities Optical Densities Definition of Transmission of Optical Density Transmission optical density is defined as: Optical Density = log10 (incident light / transmitted light) = log10 (100 / % light transmission) Transmission optical density can be measured with a transmission densitometer that meets ANSI standards. Examples are the Macbeth model TD903 and TD932. Optical density for 100% light transmission = log10 (100/100) = log10 (1) = 0 Optical density for 0.
