Thermal Transfer Ribbon

Brilliant T 143 Sw

Wax
Flat-Head

is a premium wax quality with a thick and very black ink layer. It is universally applicable and achieves a deep black print on all printing systems without adjustment of the settings and on numerous materials, which also resolves small elements and fine lines well.

It is very sensitive and can be printed at low temperatures, thus protecting the print head and extending its life. Due to a resin content, the print has good smudge resistance.
