These E8-B thermal time cards are optimized for direct thermal printing,
meaning they work without the need for ink ribbons. Thermal printing
simplifies maintenance and reduces ongoing supply costs compared to
traditional ribbon-based punch clocks. The cards are rugged and engineered
to maintain printed data legibility over time, which helps support accurate
payroll reporting and compliance. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Compatible Lathem Time Clock Models
Lathem E8-B cards are specifically compatible with thermal print time clocks
that use the Lathem E Series card format. Two of the most common models
that use these cards are the Lathem 2100HD Heavy Duty Thermal Print Time
Clock and the Lathem 800P TruAlign Time Recorder. Both of these clocks
use thermal printing technology, which eliminates the need for print ribbons
and offers durable, high-contrast imprinting. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Thermal Printing Benefits
Thermal time cards deliver several advantages in busy workplace settings:
- No ink ribbons required — reduces supply needs and maintenance.
- High-contrast printed times and dates for clear payroll records.
- Designed for two-week pay cycles, reducing card handling.
- Works in a variety of climates when used with recommended time clocks.
Best Practices for Use
For best results, store thermal time cards in a cool, dry place and avoid
exposing them to excessive heat or direct sunlight before use. When
installing cards in a thermal print clock like the Lathem 2100HD, make
sure the card is properly aligned in the card slot so the printer can
automatically activate the imprint at the correct position. Proper
alignment and card placement help ensure consistent readouts during
payroll processing. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Why Choose E8-B Two-Week Cards?
These cards are ideal for businesses that use a pay period longer than a
single week, as they consolidate two weeks of punches on one card. This
reduces the number of cards needed, keeps employee time records
consolidated, and simplifies payroll review. If you use thermal print
clocks regularly, stocking E8-B cards helps maintain uninterrupted time
clock operation.
