Thermal Ribbon Guide

Wax

Wax thermal ribbons are ideal for applications where exceptional print quality at high
speeds is needed without the necessity for high scratch resistance.
Our extensive selection of widths and lengths accommodates a wide variety of
thermal transfer printer models. These ribbons are perfect for printing on most
coated and uncoated thermal transfer self-adhesive paper labels, as well as thermal
printable cards.

Wax/Resin

Wax-Resin thermal ribbons offer excellent smear and scratch resistance, making them
ideal for various thermal transfer label materials, including papers, card stocks, some
synthetics, and varnish-coated pre-printed labels. They also provide some chemical
and solvent resistance, and have a broad operating range for temperature and
darkness. Perfect for everyday printing needs, Wax-Resin ribbons are particularly
useful for permanent labels in the food and medical industries.

range of widths and lengths to fit most thermal transfer printer models.
These ribbons are perfect for very specific self-adhesive and tag materials. They are
