Thermal Transfer Ribbon

Brilliant+ T 154 Sw

Wax
Flat-Head

Brilliant+ / T 154 Sw is an exceptional premium wax quality with very high resistance, especially to scratching, for a wax quality. The ribbon is very sensitive, can be printed at low energies and, in addition, the high quality of the print result can be achieved over a very wide temperature range.

The resolution is also excellent – even the smallest details, such as small font sizes, fine lines, graphics and vertical and horizontal barcodes, can be printed in outstanding quality.

The print is very black, and areas are printed very evenly and homogeneously on vellum, coated and high-gloss papers. But even PE and PP films, PVC and even polyester can be printed in excellent quality. The ribbon is certified for use in the food industry.

The resistance of the print to mechanical stress is exceptionally high for a wax quality. After 1000 cycles of wiping on the Crockmeter (force 10N = weight 0.981 kg), our standard EAN code is almost intact and still perfectly legible with ANSI Grade B. In practice, the print can be described as scratch-resistant, depending on the label material.

The print also exhibits impressive resistance to numerous chemicals, including alcohol, motor oil, brake fluid and hydraulic oil.

A back coating that has been tested over billions of running metres, combined with high sensitivity, guarantees a long service life for the print heads.

If your customers want to print high-quality labels on a wide variety of materials with excellent durability, this premium wax quality is an excellent choice. In many cases, it can replace significantly more expensive wax/resin products at the price of wax.
