Boca Systems - Thermal Ticket Stock

THERMAL TICKETS

Compatible ticket stock is crucial to the performance and reliability of BOCA thermal ticket printers.

BOCA has developed a series of thermal ticket products in a variety of weights and designs. Each ticket material has been designed for optimal performance in our printers. In addition, BOCA offers a choice of holograms, foils, and magnetic stripes.

We stand behind our thermal tickets and labels with a free print head replacement policy (600 dpi heads excluded) in order to demonstrate our commitment to quality and compatibility. Allow our graphic artists and sales associates to assist you in making your ticket design a success.

The typical ticket production cycle takes three to five weeks after receipt of order. For orders requiring an accelerated schedule, we can guarantee a one to two week turnaround for a $600.00 "rush charge" premium above the standard price.

* While plastic tickets are more tolerant of limited water exposure than paper tickets, plastic tickets are not waterproof. For best results, they should be kept out of water. If the tickets are exposed to water, the thermal side of the ticket should be dried as quickly as possible to avoid damaging the thermal surface. Placing the wet, thermal surface in contact with another ticket or certain other materials may result in faded or disappearing printout.

** These papers have an economy grade topcoating. The use of this material may require the user to clean the print head more frequently, especially on tickets with heavy ink coverage.

*** The semi-gloss rear side of these papers produces excellent four color process images. However, these papers will require the user to clean their printer platens more frequently. The frequency of the cleanings will depend on the ticket volume and the volume of ink printed on the ticket rear.
