Linerless label cut-off

摘要

A linerless label dispenser includes a cutting mechanism. Linerless labels are transported from a roll underneath a plastic guide and onto an adhesive-release material guide structure/ramp past a sensor to a print head which prints indicia on the release material coated face of the labels. From the print head and cooperating print roller the labels pass to a plasma coated stripper surface which is disposed at an upwardly directed angle between about 20-35 DEG with respect to the horizontal, and into contact with a plasma coated stationary anvil blade. The anvil blade is spaced downwardly from the stripper surface a distance of about 0.001-0.008 inches (preferably about 0.002-0.004 inches) and cooperates with a plasma coated or texture painted rotary blade of a rotary cutter. Downstream of the blades may be a plasma coated exit roller typically cooperating with a hold down mechanism for dispensing individual cut labels.
