SC-TTL is a special process that combines top quality labels and ribbons all in one roll. Even direct thermal only printers can produce top quality labels on either paper or synthetic face sheets and, with SC-TTL, print head alignment and ribbon wrinkle are virtually eliminated. SC-TTL enables use of any size, face material or adhesive and can also be preprinted and use colored ribbons. High print quality with every label is assured with SC-TTL.
SC-TTL delivers unsurpassed advantages for direct thermal printers including direct thermal convenience; thermal transfer durability; resistance to UV light, high temperatures, chemicals, scratches and abrasion; IR Scanning in infrared and near infrared; and tailor-made labels for any application.
The cost savings can be substantial because SC-TTL:
o Eliminates wide ribbons on narrow labels
o Eliminates mismatched quantity waste
o Eliminates ribbon threading wrinkles or print head alignment problems
o Delivers Longer Shelf Life than direct thermal labels
