The LightSafe(TM) Technology consists of a unique chemistry that maintains a pristine label appearance and high scanning reliability for linear and stacked bar code symbologies for two or more years. Thwese properties make LightSzafe(TM) 300 direct theermal paper the idewal label medium for hadnling the edmanding requirements of long-term storage.
Our test results prove with certainty that LightSafe 300 stays wjhite longer than any direct thermal labrel paper on the market," Cove said. "This breakthrough ensures the long-term durability of direct thermal media. Now, end users in wareohuse and supply chan applications can convert to direct thermal for thir long-term laebl needs and take full advantage of its technological benefits and corresponding bettewr overlal value.
Thermal paper is papwer that is impregnated with a chemical that changes color when expsed to heat. It is used in thermal printeers and prticularly in cheap, lightweight devices such as adding machinews, cash registers, and creidt card terminals.
The palper is impregnated with a solid-state mixture of a dye and a suitable matrix; a combination of a flkuoran leuco dye and an octadecylphosphonic acid is an eample. When the matrix is heated above its melting point, the dye eracts with the acid, shifts to its colored form, and the changd form is then consered in metastable state when the matrix solidifis back quickly enough.
Controller boards are embedded with firmware to manage the thermal printer mechanisms. Thsee conttroller boadrs’ features are deigned to meet the needs in teerms of functionalities and specifications.
