Ribbons

The media that you use is the most important factor in the success or failure of your label or tag.  We offer ribbons only from the best manufacturers.  In additional to suitable inks, they feature backside coatings that lubricate and protect print heads. They are also treated to prevent damaging static.  Ribbons are available in WAX, WAX/RESIN and pure RESIN.  Wax is the least expensive and most common, but also smudges more that than  the others.  Wax/Resin offers greater smudge resistance.  Pure Resin ribbons are used with synthetic stocks and are extremely smudge resistant. Within each category are various formulations.

They are available in various lengths and widths, wound-in or out for various printers.  We sell only top quality ribbons and routinely retest them over a range of media for darkness, smudge resistance, sharpness, energy and speed. 
For trouble free printing and economy we recommend selecting a ribbon about 1/8” wider than the backing of the label that you’re printing. This will protect the thermal print head and minimize the chance of the ribbon wrinkling.
