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

This table represents the projected schedule for ticket orders. Please note that the above schedule is based upon the assumption that clear, usable artwork is provided to BOCA and that the customer approves all proofs immediately upon receipt. It would be realistic to assume that one of these two factors may delay the tickets beyond the above schedule. Please note that the normal schedule is a projection and is expected to vary within reasonable limits. |
All of the green highlighted thermal papers are SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) Certified

200+ use with 200 or 300 dpi (300 dpi may require print energy adjustment)
200 use with 200 dpi only
Environmental Characteristics
All grades with the exception of T4, SLOT4, T5 and E7 have excellent chemical and heat immunity.
Plastic Materials
Although plastic tickets are ideal for use as ski tags and wristbands, they are not waterproof. Wet plastic tickets should not be allowed to dry while under pressure or while in contact with other plastic or thermal materials. Failure to observe these guidelines may result in fading or disappearing print.
High Quality Rears (M7, M10 and Plastic Tickets)
The semi-gloss rear side of these papers produce 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 of ink printed on the ticket rear.
