Performance properties tested on B-499 printed with Series R4300, R4900, R6000, and R6200 thermal transfer ribbons and R2000 and R5000 dot matrix ribbons. Printed samples of B-499 were laminated to aluminum and allowed to dwell 24 hours before exposure to the indicated environmental conditions. Unless noted, results are the same for all ribbons tested.

Samples printed with Series R2000 and R5000 ribbons using the I.D.Pro® Plus Wire Marker Printer and IBM Typewriter. Samples wrapped around a 12 AWG, TFE jacketed wire and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to test. Test was conducted at room temperature except where noted. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified test fluid followed by a 30 minute recovery period. After final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
