Material-family construction

The sheet describes a phenol-free Vitamin C developer that gives the material an orange tone. It does not list LD-R2AQ5J specifically; confirm that this SKU is supplied in that formulation before relying on its color or phenol-free designation.

Temperature performance and application testing

The material specification table lists a service temperature range of -65°F to 200°F (-54°C to 93°C) following correct application and appropriate dwell time, usually 24 hours. This is not the temperature range for initial application.

Minimum application temperature needs confirmation: the sheet's introduction states -4°F (-20°C), while its specification table states 38°F (3°C). Confirm the applicable minimum with Zebra before cold-surface application.

Printer compatibility

Use a direct thermal printer that accepts 4-inch-wide labels, a 0.75-inch core, a 2.5-inch roll outer diameter and the specified material thickness and sensing format. A general material-family printer recommendation does not guarantee that this roll fits every printer. Verify media fit and settings before ordering.

Chemical exposure guidance

The material sheet requires end-use testing for blood, body fluids, salt water, water, alcohol, ammonia, bleach and IPA. Window cleaner, gasoline, grease, acetone, IR reflow, MEK, TCE and xylene are not recommended. Do not treat this as waterproof or chemical-proof label stock. Pre-test adhesion and print durability in your intended application.
