Its compact core and standard diameter fit most 57 mm paper holders, offering reliable feeding and consistent print density throughout the roll.

Advantages

How to use

Usage recommendations

Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures to preserve thermal sensitivity. Avoid contact with oils, solvents or materials that may transfer inks or contaminants. Use within the manufacturer's recommended shelf life for optimal image stability and reduce prolonged exposure to heat sources which can cause premature darkening.
