Printer Ribbon
Here’s some Thermal Transfer Ribbon grade information:
Wax is the most economical ribbon, mainly printing on matte paper and using low printer energy. As the wax ribbon is made with one layer of colourant and has a lower melting point they can be used as a general purpose type of printing ribbon. Due to the ribbon being much softer than the other grades the trade off is that the images printed using this ribbon are less durable against smudging, abrasion and chemicals.Typical uses are for printing short term shipping labels, address labels, price labels where the printed label will not need to be long lasting.
Wax Resin is known as premium, this gives a smudge and scratch free resistance to your labels. It works at medium print energy. This can be used on semi-high gloss paper and some plastics and vinyls. Compared to general wax ribbon it is much more durable even against chemicals. This is used when reliable high-quality prints are required. Typical uses for printing higher definition labels.
