cab SQUIX 6.3 — Frequently Asked Questions
Is the cab SQUIX 6.3 direct thermal or thermal transfer?
The cab SQUIX 6.3 does both. In thermal transfer mode it prints through a ribbon for durable, long-life labels; in direct thermal mode it prints straight onto heat-sensitive stock with no ribbon at all, which is how most shipping labels are produced.
What size ribbon does the cab SQUIX 6.3 use?
The cab SQUIX 6.3 takes thermal transfer ribbons up to 6.69" wide, up to 1,969 ft (600 m) long, on a 1" core, wound either coated side in or out. Wax suits coated paper labels, wax-resin handles synthetics and heavier handling, and full resin is the choice for chemical, solvent and outdoor exposure.
What label sizes fit the cab SQUIX 6.3?
The cab SQUIX 6.3 accepts media up to 7.09" wide, with a maximum print width of 6.61". Any narrower label will run as well, so long as the roll core and outside diameter also fit the media bay — width alone is not enough.
What roll core size does the cab SQUIX 6.3 take?
The cab SQUIX 6.3 takes rolls on 1.5" / 3" cores, with a maximum roll diameter of 8.07". A roll on a larger core will not seat on the spindle, and one over the diameter limit will not let the cover close.
Does the cab SQUIX 6.3 take 3-inch core rolls?
Yes — 3" cores are the industrial standard and the cab SQUIX 6.3 is built for them, which is what lets it hold the large-diameter rolls that keep reload stops down.
Why won't my label roll fit the cab SQUIX 6.3?
Three things stop a roll loading in this printer: the roll is over 8.07" in diameter; the core is not 1.5" / 3". Label width is usually the first thing people check and the least likely culprit — core size is the common one.
Can the cab SQUIX 6.3 print on synthetic or outdoor labels?
Yes. Because the cab SQUIX 6.3 prints thermal transfer, it can image polypropylene, polyester and other synthetic facestocks that direct thermal printers cannot mark. Pair them with a wax-resin or full resin ribbon; wax will not anchor properly to a synthetic surface.
Where can I buy labels and ribbons for the cab SQUIX 6.3 in Canada?
Vantage Labels stocks blank thermal labels and printer ribbons that fit the cab SQUIX 6.3, shipped from Canadian stock. Everything listed on this page has been checked against the printer's published media specifications — width, core, roll diameter and ribbon format — rather than matched on the printer's name.
