Intermec  offers  two  quality  grades  of  direct thermal media for 
the EasyCoder printers:
•    Premium Quality: Top-coated media with high demands on 
printout quality and resistance against moisture, plasticisers, and 
vegetable oils. Examples:
     - Thermal Top Board 
 
- Duratherm II, 
     - Thermal Top   
 
- Duratherm II Tag
     - Thermal Top High Speed 
- Duratherm Ltg.
      
 
 
 
- Duratherm IR
•    Economy Quality: Non top-coated media with less resistance to 
moisture, plasticisers, and vegetable oils. In all other respects, it 
is equal to Premium Quality. Examples:
     - Economy
     - Eco Board
Intermec offers stock labels for thermal transfer printing in a wide 
range of quality grades.
•    Uncoated papers for economical high-volume printing to be used 
with GP/Basewax/Standard ribbons. Examples:
