• Page 228: Definition

  Consumables Definition The term consumables refer to Markem-Imaje products which are consumed in the printing process or which are used to ensure that the printer operates correctly. Consumables include: Used for marking. The ink formula includes ingredients to provide: stability when stored in the container (up to use-by date) and when in the printer, good marking performance (adhesion to identified substrates and resistance to specific identified constraints).

• Page 229: Labels

  Consumables Labels Labels perform three functions. They identify the supplier and give their supplier’s contact details (1). They give the user information about the product itself (2): . Part number, . Manufacturing batch number: This number should be given if you contact our technical support service, .
