Selecting a Ribbon

Selecting the right thermal transfer ribbon is key to achieving high-quality prints and protecting your printer’s printhead. These ribbons are ideal for barcode, shipping, and product labels. To prevent printhead wear and ensure full coverage, choose a ribbon slightly wider than your label—at least 4.0625" for 4" labels on left-justified printers, and at least 0.20" wider than the label on center-justified printers.

Resin-Enhanced Wax

Offers an economical solution for high-volume, everyday labeling, delivering sharp text and barcodes on coated, uncoated paper and synthetic labels at fast print speeds. Ideal for shipping, warehouse, inventory, and short-term product labeling. Resin-Enhanced Wax offers excellent print quality up to 12 IPS. *H-version is not intended for uncoated facesheets. 
 

Premium Wax-Resin 

Offers premium print quality with a balance of durability and versatility, producing crisp, smudge and scratch-resistant prints that outperform standard wax ribbons. Ideal for product, retail, logistics, healthcare, and industrial labeling. They work well on coated paper, synthetics, and glossy materials, and provide moderate resistance to moisture and abrasion—suitable for limited outdoor use when paired with synthetic labels.  Increased print contrast may be required to obtain optimum barcode quality.

• No-Mar® Advanced Wax-Resin: Offers enhanced durability on both a Paper and Semi Gloss facesheet with a special coating that resists scuffing, making it a premium upgrade from standard wax-resin while providing a cost-effective alternative to full resin ribbons.
• Super Premium Wax-Resin: Provides added moisture-resistance for humid or steamy environments, offering better protection than standard wax-resin while remaining a more economical choice than full resin and is  slightly more smudge-resistant.

Resin

Offers the highest level of durability, delivering sharp, long-lasting prints that resist scratching, smudging, chemicals, moisture, heat, and UV exposure. Ideal for extreme environments and long-term labeling needs, it’s perfect for chemical drums, industrial parts, medical devices, electronics, and outdoor applications. Best used on synthetic materials like polyester, polypropylene, and vinyl. Resin ribbons ensure permanent identification where durability is critical.  Resin ribbons require “higher than normal” print energy at a slower speed.
