Description

A wax-resin barcode ribbon is a type of thermal transfer ribbon used in thermal transfer printers to print high-quality barcodes, text, and graphics on different label materials. It is a blend of wax and resin, offering a balance of durability and print quality.

Key Features of Wax-Resin Ribbons

✅ Durability: More durable than pure wax ribbons, offering resistance to smudging, scratching, and some chemicals.
✅ Print Quality: Produces sharper, crisper images with high definition.
✅ Surface Compatibility: Works well with coated paper labels, synthetic labels (polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyester), and tag stock.
✅ Resistance: Offers moderate resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.
✅ Applications: Ideal for shipping labels, product labels, healthcare, retail, and warehouse applications.

Wax-Resin vs. Other Thermal Ribbons

• Wax Ribbon: Lower durability, best for standard paper labels.
• Wax-Resin Ribbon: Medium durability, good for coated and synthetic labels.
• Resin Ribbon: High durability, used for extreme environments (e.g., chemical exposure, outdoor applications).
