No ribbon required: direct thermal printing burns the image directly onto the heat-sensitive face stock. The 52-grade topcoated paper produces sharper barcodes and better scratch resistance than economy uncoated direct thermal stock. Compatible with desktop direct thermal printers including Zebra ZD, ZD220, GK420d, GX420d, GC420d, Rollo, Munbyn, and other standard desktop direct thermal printers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect thermal label, \"52\" topcoated material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLabel dimensions (W x L)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 x 2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRectangle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFormat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoll (case of 12 rolls)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrint method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect thermal (no ribbon required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace stock\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite topcoated paper, \"52\" material grade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAdhesive\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePermanent pressure-sensitive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible printers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZebra ZD, ZD220, GK420d, GX420d, GC420d, Rollo, Munbyn, MFLABEL, and most desktop direct thermal printers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCumulative quantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 rolls per case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest for ecommerce sellers, fulfillment teams, and small-to-mid-volume shipping operations using a desktop direct thermal printer.
