Types & Ideal Use

wax thermal transfer ribbons

  • These ribbons work well on paper material, but are not effective for films. The print quality is mid-range and the heat resistance is relatively low.
  • Wax Thermal Transfer Ribbons are ideal for shipping and pallet labels.

wax-resin thermal transfer ribbons

  • These ribbons work well on paper and film materials. The print quality is high and the heat resistance is mid-level.
  • Wax-Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbons are ideal for retail, food, pharmaceutical and outdoor labels and tags.

resin thermal transfer ribbons

  • These ribbons work well on film materials but not very well on paper material.  The print quality is superior and the heat resistance is high.
  • Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbons are ideal for meat packing, tire, chemical and laboratory labels as well as ID wristbands.
