HELP!
I don't know which labels I need! |
|
If you are not sure
about the difference between thermal TRANSFER and thermal
DIRECT
labels:
* thermal TRANSFER labels are for printers that
use a
ribbon,
* thermal DIRECT labels are for printers that
don't use a
ribbon (the labels are heat-sensitive which is how the print is
made).
If you have any doubts at all, please contact us on 01376 345955
for free help and advice.

this possible? |

from a combination of up to 8 colours, although fluorescent or

How
will my labels be printed? |
|
Types of colour
printing
The type of printing used for your label will depend on your
requirements and budget. We will always discuss this with you to
ensure that you get the best result at the best price for your
needs.
Four-colour process
printing
Labels printed in four-colour process use up to four ink colours
(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black), selected by choosing Pantone
colours (a process we can help you with if required).
For each colour used, a printing 'plate' is required, ie a
three-colour label will need three separate plates. There is a
full explanation on Wikipedia here www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model.
The printing process uses 'dots'
of ink to create blocks of colour, with different size dots
creating either a light or dark shade of the colour. Occasionally
the blocks of colour may not be dense enough to create the desired
effect; if this is the case, additional 'spot colours' can be used
to enhance the image.
Up to 7 Colour Printing
Most label requirements can be printed quite happily in up to four
colours. However, some high-profile, prestige labels use more
colours (including metallic) and thus a four-colour process is not
suitable. Again, for each colour used a separate printing plate
will be required.

Is there
a minimum quantity for orders? |
|
On our plain white
(barcode) label stock ranges, there is usually a minimum order of
one box, as the labels are already packaged up ready for despatch.
For all other orders, there is no minimum (or maximum!) order
quantity.
