Our Range of Full Resin Ribbons are Recommended for Heavy Duty Applications

There are several types of thermal transfer ribbons that are used in thermal transfer printing. Though each option possesses its own benefits, only one is recommended for heavy duty applications.

Wax ribbons

Wax ribbons are designed for general-purpose printing on paper materials. The high level of wax means that these ribbons have a lower melting point so a lower heat setting can be used on the printer. This lower setting makes higher print speeds possible.

Wax ribbons offer good resistance to abrasion on paper and are often used for retails tags and labels. However, they are not designed to be used in harsh and corrosive environments.

Wax-resin ribbons

Wax-resin ribbons can be used to produce labels with a longer lifespan than those created with just wax ribbons. They are ideal for use with top-coated and glossy paper materials, as well as some matte synthetic stock.

The images created using wax-resin ribbons are more durable than wax and less likely to be scratched, scuffed or rubbed away. This is why they’re best suited for environments with moderate exposure to chemicals and abrasion such as shelf and bin labelling, but can still be used for high-speed printing applications.

Full resin ribbons

Full resin ribbons are utilised for delivering labels with sharp, clear print that can be used in highly demanding situations requiring mechanical and solvent resistance. They are suited for use with most synthetic materials and some matte or high-gloss paper.

To produce long lasting and strong labels, full resin ribbons chemically bond with and dissolve into the material on which they’re printed. This creates a tight adhesion that allows labels to be used across automotive, textile, medical, chemical, packaging and other industries that require high damage resistance.

Full resin ribbons allow you to create labels that will have a long life outdoors, in corrosive environments, and can withstand moisture and high levels of abrasion.
