Causes of Excessive Abrasion
• Poor quality media that has abrasive particles imbedded into its surface which contacts the printhead.
• Dirt or other contaminants that can come in contact with the printhead while driving the media over the
printhead

ABUSIVE CONTACT
This is where the printhead heater element protective surface has been physically damaged.
Causes: Typically happens when either a sharp or hard object contacts the protective overcoat layer causing
the surface to break and exposing the heat element which results in the opening or shorting of the element.

ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)


The printhead is very sensitive to ESD. At the connector end of the printhead, just ~250 - 300 volts of ESD can
damage the printhead.

IMPURITIES
These can cause corrosion to the printhead that can result in open / short circuits.
• Introduced to the printhead by cleaning with a substance that isn’t recommended. Improper handling (sweat).

Iconography and Infographics

Marketing Iconography
Icons are visual symbols that represent a
concept without relying on written language.
Zebra’s marketing icons reflect the design
approach of the corporate brand – minimal,
modern and clean. Each icon should have a
unique custom design that communicates the
subject matter in its most simple form.

The Marketing Icon Library PDF (to view all the


icons), .png icons and Icon Guidelines for
creating new icons are located on the Zebra
Media Library (see Page 4 for access).

Photography
Style

Tone and Feel


Photography should show the complexity
of the environments in which Zebra
operates, while demonstrating how our
technology gives our customers visibility,
simplifying this complexity. Photos should
be professional, clean and natural feeling.

Do not use images that look dated or


staged, or are of poor quality.

Lighting
Photos should show a high tonal range,
be sharp and high-definition, and
appear naturally lit with no stylized
lighting or unnatural filters.

Image Library
The Zebra Media Library contains vertical
market, application and product photography.
See information below for access.

Photography
People

Incorporate images that show people


realizing the end-user benefits of Zebra
products when possible.

People should be captured in action and


depict an authentic experience, rather
than a staged setting. They also should
not appear aware of the camera. Their
expressions should convey seriousness
about their activities, but not concern or
stress, nor should they look overly happy.

Consider regional needs when selecting


talent for photo shoots. Diversity in
representation of our target customer
base is required, with authenticity as the
primary guideline.

Vertical

Photography of vertical market segments —


such as retail, transportation and logistics,
manufacturing and healthcare — typically capture
an entire environment for a Zebra application
with no main person or product feature,
although people may appear in the distance.

Stock

When selecting images for an assets, begin with a


search on the Zebra Media Library. If you’re not able
to find what you need, email brand@zebra.com for
help in sourcing imagery.

If after a thorough search, you can’t locate an


appropriate image, stock photography can be
considered. Use stock images only on a limited basis,
such as for a general setting for a vertical market
where we don’t have as many images available.

Select stock photography with the same look and feel


as Zebra imagery. Look at similar images in the Media
Library to understand the style and tone of our
photography. Images must be of high quality,
authentic rather than staged and use natural lighting.

Understand the difference between royalty-free and


rights-managed licenses. Purchase royalty-free
images and make sure you select the license that
matches how you will use the imagery. Rights-
managed images are not recommended; email
brand@zebra.com for approval before purchase.

Please note that nearly all images are protected by


copyright. An infringement of a copyright – such as
using an image without permission or beyond the
scope of the license – may result in monetary
damages, lawsuits and costly legal fees.

Assume every image found on the internet is


copyrighted and thus requires a license or express
written permission from the copyright owner to use it.
Merely acknowledging the source of the image is
insufficient. Unless you obtain a license or express
written permission from the copyright owner for your
exact use and scope, do not use the image for Zebra
materials, including social media, corporate
information, marketing assets, internal and external
presentations, etc.

Contact brand@zebra.com for any questions about


using stock or other non-Zebra images. Ask before
you risk legal consequences.
