Since there are dozens of ribbon/label combinations available to try, what is the best way to begin evaluation of polyimide labels for marking circuit boards?
The best way to determine the optimal polyimide label and thermal transfer ribbon combination, is to test several combinations at once. Fortunately, Polyonics has put together a PCB Process Test Kit available, which puts together 7 or 8 well characterized combinations of ribbon and label stock. One of them should work for you !!
