A: DT Eco is BPA-free. DT Top-coated grades are produced without bisphenol chemistry, so they are BPA-, BPS-, and phenol-free. If you need phenol-free media, choose Top-coated DT (data sheets available on request).
A: Yes — 102 × 100 mm is a near-square format compatible with both desktop and industrial thermal printers. Choose the right core size: 25 / 38 mm for desktop units such as Zebra GK420D / ZD421, or 76 mm for industrial printers such as Zebra ZT410 / ZT411.
