Materials
approved for
Indigo and hot
fusing toner
printing
Materials are tested and approved by major press
manufacturers in both flat sheet and die cut label form.
Further information concerning specific printers can be
found on the pcl web site www.pcllabels.com
A unique range of SRA3 sheets of plain self adhesive and
die cut labels developed specifically for the new generation
digital presses without compromising their use by traditional
printing methods.
Approved for Indigo commercial and industrial sheet fed
presses; the PCL3 range was the first in the world to be
accredited by Hewlett Packard. Similarly approved for
use on commercial hot fusing toner presses (e.g. Kodak
NexPress, Xerox Docucolor including the iGen, Konica
Minolta BizHub, Ricoh and Canon) this unique range
provides the solution to labelling requirements for both
digital and conventional printing. All approvals were
granted on materials pre-cut to labels to ensure that
all aspects of the products, including the quality of
die cutting, were taken into account.
†
Docucolor – Due to the feed system on the DC12
Xerox do not advise the use of pre-cut labels on
SRA3 sheets - please see the PCL (A4) range for
this particular machine.
Although the PCL3 range was developed
for commercial print use it is equally at home
in ‘in house’ print environments with further
approvals for printability, quality and reliability
from OKI and the other major printer suppliers who
service both of these markets.
This range of label sizes and materials is constantly being
updated, currently with over 40 sizes (squares, rectangles, circles, media
and special shapes) available in 26 approved base materials. Materials available
include coated white stocks in both permanent and removable adhesives, ‘block out’
adhesive, colours, fluorescents, high wet strength laid papers for bottle labelling, clear, white
and silver polyesters, matt white PE (Teslin®) with BS5609 approved adhesive for hazardous goods
labelling and a rayon satin cloth with clothing approved adhesive.
An extension of the patented PCL (A4) range the sheets are formatted with two panels of A4 PCL
layouts arranged on an SRA3 sheet. With extra grip edges all round and a wide centre gutter the sheet can be cut
to A4 (using the crop marks cut into the surface for positioning) for final presentation.

Specifically designed for
maximum stability
and simplicity of use,
the PCL3 Digital format
is a modification of the
highly versatile, successful
(patented) PCL (A4)
format. Two A4 panels of
labels are positioned on
an SRA3 sheet with extra
grip edges all round. Crop
marks are cut into the
label surface to mark the
position of the A4 sheets
edges for ease of guillotining for final presentation.
Double the output - every click!
Quality
Only the highest quality materials meet the exacting
standards required of the PCL3 range. The PCL
Labels technical department involved only the most
advanced paper mills and coating specialists in their
development of the materials required to meet the
demands of a product designed for such diverse
printing specification requirements.
The five years of development produced a unique
range of the highest quality standards, and is ongoing!
Service
The requirements of digital printers are Immediate and
varied. The PCL3 range provides over 1000 labelling
options for a minimum one box order.
Manufacture and despatch are normally on the
same day as ordered with the option of same day
courier delivery for those really urgent jobs.
Reliability
Independently tested and approved by the world’s
leading digital press manufacturers.
For laser (digital) and litho printers
The PCL3 range of sheets and die cut labels is equally at home on digital and litho presses.
Hot fusing toner (laser) and litho printers can however use the full range of SRA3 materials available. See page 3.
The PCL (A4) range offers the litho and digital printer a further 4000 label size/material options and for simple linework, the Digital Office
(A4) range further extends the choice.

Choice
The PCL3 range provides printers with the choice of
print method to suit the job, combined with the ability
to cut time and finishing costs by using pre-cut labels.
Bespoke label sizes and shapes can be made to
your requirements using any of the approved standard
materials and we will do our utmost to develop new
products for your specific needs if required.
Printing our products
All materials and label sizes in the PCL3 range can be
printed by conventional methods (e.g. Offset litho, silk
screen) and digitally by HP Indigo and hot fusing laser
technology. They can be printed by multiple processes
e.g. pre-print fixed information by offset litho and
overprint variable data by digital methods (SRA3 or cut
back to A4 for desk top printing).
PCL3 label formats allow an image bleed by all
print methods plus the ability to flood colour over the
entire sheet and once guillotined back to A4 leave no
plain unprinted areas.
Offset Litho: Use formulated low tack inks and a
hard blanket when printing pre-cut labels. Polyesters
require fully oxidising inks and delivery systems free of
oil based inks and varnishes.
Digital: PCL3 materials should be run as paper heavyweight media (170 - 200gsm).
Please visit www.pcllabels.com for more specific
printing information.
PCL3 Digital and other labels from the PCL
Family (PCL [A4], Digital Office and A4+) are
available from:

Printing Information
PCL3 die cut labels and flat sheets can be printed conventionally e.g. offset litho and digitally e.g. HP Indigo and hot fusing toner.
Offset Litho: Use formulated low tack inks (not just ‘reduced’) and a hard blanket when printing pre die cut labels in order to reduce the ‘suction’ effect. Synthetic grades require
fully oxidising inks specifically for ‘synthetics’ and delivery systems free of oil based inks and varnishes. Matt White PE (Teslin®) can however be printed with conventional (low
tack) inks.
For more information on inks suitable for pre cut labels and synthetic grades please contact your normal ink supplier or PJF Printing Inks – Paul Freemantle +44 (0)1933 271201.
Digital: The total laminate weight and thickness are shown in the materials table. Trials with media type settings are recommended depending on the image to be printed as
every digital press handles Gloss/ Matt/ Filmic in slightly different ways. All materials however can be printed as media type ‘paper’ with the appropriate weight/thickness selected.
