Abstract: A printer for outputting a printed product includes: a print head for printing on a print medium moving in a longitudinal direction, the print medium including a plurality of separate or separable labels detachably arranged on a carrier along the longitudinal direction; and a material interface for outputting the print medium printed by the printer as a printed product, the material interface including a dispensing edge and a support, which deflect the carrier over the dispensing edge and the support downstream of the print head in the longitudinal direction. The dispensing edge is arranged relative to the support in a first position to induce a detaching deflection of the carrier for detaching the respective label. The dispensing edge and the support are arranged in a second position relative to each other to induce an entraining deflection for entraining the respective label on the carrier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the wettability and/or adhesivity of plastic surfaces, in particular, to facilitate printing, painting or adhesion. A lubricant is added to the plastic, particularly to improve the processability thereof. According to the invention, a metal soap-free lubricant is used as a lubricant for the plastic. Alternatively, the wettability and/or the adhesivity of the polyamide surfaces can be improved, especially in order to facilitate printing, painting or adhesion, by increasing the number of end groups of polyamides, optionally maintaining metal soaps as lubricants.
