THERMAL TRANSFER WAX RIBBONS

Wax thermal ribbons are the most economical variety of the thermal ribbon range and are suitable for general-purpose printing on paper stocks. Although this range is inexpensive, they offer superior abrasion, resistance and excellent print quality on normal and rotated barcodes on coated and uncoated paper.

The high ratio of wax in the formulation means these ribbons have a lower melt point, so a lower heat setting can be used on the printer and high print speeds are achievable.

Wax Ribbon are recommended for application and uses including coated and uncoated labels and tags, general-purpose labelling, shipping labels, carton labelling, retail tags and labels, print and apply applications.

THERMAL TRANSFER WAX/RESIN RIBBONS

Wax/Resin thermal transfer ribbons for label printing are suitable for labels requiring a long lifespan, and provide a finer image on very smooth or coated and gloss paper labels and some synesthetic stocks. Consequently the printed image produced from a wax/resin ribbon is more durable than wax, ensuring superior smear and scratch resistance and excellent resistance to scuffing or rubbing which can be a common problem for freight.

Likewise the recommended applications and uses for Wax/Resin ribbons include; high speed print applications, shelf and bin labelling, Drum labelling, part marking labelling and high gloss labels.

THERMAL TRANSFER RESIN RIBBONS

Full resin ribbons provide excellent performance producing labels with a sharp and clear print. Also resin ribbons thrive in harsh environments such as corrosive, high temperatures UV applications, moisture, abrasion and demanding applications.

Recommended applications and uses for Resin ribbons include; super high gloss labels and synthetic labels, extreme applications such as hazardous drum labelling, labels requiring a long life and all types of outdoor labelling that require durability.
