What is the difference between UV curable and UV/IR ink?

UV curable ink prints black and requires a UV light source to cure the ink. UV/IR ink prints invisible and is not visible by the human eye. UV/IR ink can be read by either a black light source or an advanced optical system.

Yes, we can match PMS colors.

Do tabs have timing marks (black lines)?

Yes, there are timing marks on all clear and translucent tabs regardless of roll size.

Do tabs and labels come in specialty sizes?

We can make tabs and labels in a variety of sizes. For special order sizes, estimated lead time is 5-7 business days.

Nozzle-to-Paper Distance

Proper nozzle distance is required to help insure quality text and graphics. We recommend a nozzle-to-paper spacing of 1.0mm to 1.5 mm. The higher the nozzle-to-paper spacing reduces print quality causing fuzzy text or feathering.
