The Thermal Transfer Ribbon

The thermal transfer printing ribbon is a polyester film with an ink coating and it prints by heat transfer to the label. There are three types of ink coatings for thermal transfer printing.

The Wax Ribbon The Wax/Resin Ribbon The Resin Ribbon
Wax allows for extremely fast printing speeds and requires less energy at the printing head. This ribbon creates exceptional results on a variety of surfaces (smooth or textured). The wax/resin ribbon has the same properties as the wax ribbon but it provides a higher resistance to friction and staining. The resin ribbon is ideal for labels submitted to extreme conditions. Printing material is made exclusively from polyesters, polypropylenes, or vinyl.
Recommended usage: Labels for shipping cardboard packaging, basic product identification labels Recommended usage: Vinyl label printing, glossy or synthetic Recommended usage: Labels exposed to chemical products, labels for products stored in extreme temperatures, labels for products stored outdoors

A large variety of thermal transfer ribbons exist and IMS holds the best brands for the most popular printer models: Avery Dennison, Datamax, Sato, Eltron, Intermec, Toshiba-TEC, and Zebra.
