Coating and Preprint
Thermal-print to Preprint Alignment
Tolerances in the printer, and in the ticket stock itself, can cause misalignment between the
preprint of the ticket stock and the thermal print. The ticket guides in the printer are set at
54.3 mm. Narrower guides would cause paper jam when the relative humidity changes the
ticket width.
A ticket width of 54.0 ± 0.2 mm gives a maximum misalignment of 0.55 mm (54.3 + 0.05 –
(53.3 – 0.2)).
Magnetic Media
Thermal coating Shall meet or exceed the ANSI 3.11 specification.
Smoothness: Max. 75 Sheffield units
Properties: Same as fax grade 3
Top coating The thermo-sensitive surface of the document stock can be
provided with a protective UV or moisture proofing top coating.
Preprint Tickets can be preprinted on one, or both sides.
Ink for thermo-sensitive side: Laser printer approved ink with-out
whiteners.
Ink for magnetic stripe side: Offset ink
Caution • Never use abrasive inks as they reduce the life of the thermal print head.
Note • Avoid designing tickets that require close alignment between preprint and thermal
print.
Magnetic stripe Side stripe positioned according to ISO 7811/2
Center stripe (option)
Magnetic media Full tape, transfer tape or slurry
Coercivity Adjustable between 300 and 3500 Oersted
Factory set to:
LoCo: 300 Oersted
HiCo: 2750 Oersted (option)
Non-standard coercivity setting available on request
Caution • In case of slurry, care must be taken to avoid excess slurry material and
abrasive particles that may cause unduly high degree of wear on the magnetic recording
and read heads in the TTPM3.
