Zebra 10006208-5 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Zebra 10006208-5 is a roll of 4x6 inch (101.6x152.4mm) thermal transfer paper labels. These labels feature a value-coated surface with permanent adhesive, designed for general-purpose use where a durable, cost-effective labeling solution is required. The 3-inch core and 1000 labels per roll configuration are optimized for high-volume printing environments, fitting directly into compatible Zebra printers. This specific media is intended for use with thermal transfer printing technology, requiring a ribbon to create the image. The 'RED' designation in the part number typically indicates a specific color or packaging variant, but the core functionality remains standard value-coated paper.

Compatibility

This label stock, Zebra 10006208-5, is designed for use with Zebra thermal transfer printers that support 4-inch wide media and utilize a 3-inch core. Key compatible printer families include the Zebra ZT200 Series (ZT220, ZT230), ZT400 Series (ZT410, ZT411, ZT420, ZT421), and ZT500 Series (ZT590, ZT594). It is also compatible with select Zebra mobile printers and desktop printers that meet the media width and core size requirements, such as the Xi Series (e.g., 110Xi4, 140Xi4, 170Xi4, 220Xi4) and the ZM Series (ZM400, ZM600). Always verify your printer's specific media specifications for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

For optimal print quality and printhead longevity, ensure the printer's platen roller and printhead are clean before loading new media. Use the correct thermal transfer ribbon that matches the label width and is compatible with the label material (Z-Perform 2000T requires a resin or wax/resin ribbon). Ensure the ribbon is loaded correctly and tensioned properly. Calibrate the printer to the new media size and type using the printer's built-in calibration utility. Avoid exposing the labels to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods before printing, as this can affect adhesive performance and label surface integrity.
