Material construction

Z-Select 4000T uses a 2.7 mil white topcoated paper facestock, a 0.5 mil permanent acrylic adhesive layer and a 2.5 mil, 40 lb. semi-bleached kraft liner. Total construction thickness is 5.7 mil ±10%. The ultra-smooth surface supports high-quality thermal transfer printing, including high-speed applications with an appropriate ribbon and printer setup.

Indoor labeling applications

Use the compact format for shelf-edge identifiers, price labels, product barcodes, packaging identification and work-in-process tracking. Match your barcode layout and required information to the available label area. This paper material is not recommended for outdoor use.

Temperature and storage

• Minimum application temperature: 30°F (-1°C)
• Service temperature range: -65°F to 200°F (-54°C to 93°C)
• Optimal storage conditions: 72°F (22°C) at 50% relative humidity

Apply labels at or above the minimum application temperature. The service range describes exposure after application, not the conditions for initially attaching a label. Pre-test adhesion and print readability on the intended surface under actual operating conditions.

Printer fit and ribbon selection

Select a thermal transfer printer that accommodates the media width, 1" core, 5" roll diameter and material thickness. Check the exact model's media sensing and ribbon requirements; print width alone does not establish roll compatibility. Pair these labels with a compatible wax or wax/resin ribbon in the dimensions, winding and core configuration required by your printer. Zebra's material sheet evaluates the 2000, 6000 and 6100 ribbon families; choose the appropriate configuration for your equipment and application.

Exposure limitations

Test the complete label-and-ribbon combination for the intended end use. Alcohol, ammonia, bleach, IPA, gasoline, grease, oil, acetone, MEK, TCE and xylene are not recommended exposures for the evaluated ribbon combinations. These paper labels are not a substitute for solvent-resistant or outdoor-rated media.
