Usage recommendations

For best results, use this ribbon with compatible Zebra printers listed by the manufacturer and with Z-Xtreme labels when CSA component acceptance is required. When printing on Tyvek or uneven tag stocks, reduce print speed or increase darkness setting if initial prints appear faint. Store ribbons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve print quality.
