Operation and Application
Printing Labels
Once the label roll is loaded, use your Brady label design software (e.g., Brady Workstation) to create and print your desired labels. Ensure the correct label material type is selected in the software settings for optimal print quality and material recognition.
Applying Labels
For best adhesion, ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or other contaminants. The B33-19-432 labels are designed for rough surfaces, but proper surface preparation is still crucial.
- Peel the printed label from its liner.
- Align the label carefully on the desired surface.
- Apply firm, even pressure across the entire label, working from the center outwards to remove any air bubbles.
