Label Tape Epson LK-5KBM Black Gold Thermal Transfer 1.8cm

The Epson LK-5KBM Black Gold Thermal Transfer 1.8cm label tape is designed for thermal transfer printing and produces two-tone labels with a black background and gold text or accents. Made for use with Epson LabelWorks series printers that accept this tape format, it delivers consistent print quality for office, retail, or light industrial labeling tasks. With a 1.8 cm width, the tape suits medium-width label needs such as file folder tags, shelf markers, product labels, and signage where contrast and legibility are important.

Advantages

This black and gold thermal transfer tape provides high contrast and a professional appearance while maintaining good durability for indoor applications. The thermal transfer construction ensures sharp, smear-resistant text when used with compatible printers. Its 1.8 cm width balances visibility and compactness, enabling clear labels without excessive material bulk. Compatibility with LabelWorks LW-C410 simplifies installation and reduces the need to adapt settings for reliable results.

How to use

Install the tape cartridge into a compatible LabelWorks printer following the printer’s cartridge-loading instructions. Adjust label layout and text settings on the printer or through the LabelWorks software to match the 1.8 cm width before printing. Feed the tape and perform a test print to confirm alignment and contrast. After printing, trim the label as needed and apply it to a clean, dry surface for best adhesion and legibility.

Recommendations

For optimal results, use the tape indoors and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean the application surface to remove dust and oils prior to labeling. When printing small text or fine graphics, verify printer settings and perform a sample print to ensure clarity on the black-and-gold material.
