Zebra 2" x 1" IQ Color 2000D Direct Thermal Label | For Mobile Printers | Case of 36 Rolls - 450 Labels per Roll

Zebra 2'' x 1'' IQ Color 2000D revolutionizes identification when you need direct thermal paper labels that print vibrant colors on demand in predefined zones for visual cue applications requiring immediate color-coded recognition. If you're looking to replace ink jet or laser color solutions with a more efficient thermal printing approach that offers flexibility over traditional preprinted labels and reduces roll changes for multiple SKUs, this white coated direct thermal paper label (68300RM) can print in 8 standard colors: Magenta, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple for accurate sortation and quicker prioritization. With a service temperature range of -65°F to 120°F (-54°C to 49°C) and minimum application temperature of 40°F (4°C), this 5.7 mil thickness label provides high-performance acrylic-based adhesive that creates such strong bonding the facestock rips before adhesion fails, ensuring secure attachment throughout the application lifecycle. The innovative color printing technology enables hospitals to create visual cues for laboratory specimens, pharmacy applications, and specimen collection, while retail applications benefit from color-coded price markdown systems and work-in-process identification that improves workflow efficiency. With recommended print speeds of 6 ips maximum for normal codes and 3 ips maximum for rotated codes, plus minimum bar code densities of 10 mil narrow bar normal codes and 15 mil narrow bar rotated codes, this solution delivers the color flexibility and visual identification capabilities needed for hospitals (laboratory, pharmacy, specimen collection), work-in-process applications, retail price markdown systems, and organizations currently using ink jet or laser color solutions where on-demand color printing, visual recognition, and operational efficiency are critical.

Note: These labels do NOT contain an RFID inlay and are NOT compatible with UHF RFID technology.
