• Provide ink formulation certificates proving thermal transfer readiness to avoid disputes over 'prepared' status
• Label shipments clearly as 'thermal transfer ribbons on PET' to prevent confusion with standard plastic films
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Asian-sourced PET ribbons; maintain origin certificates
