Thermal Transfer Ribbon

N 508 Sw

Resin
NE & FH

is our most durable resin quality for non-ferrous printers and direct printing systems. It has excellent print quality on films and can also be used on paper surfaces – with restrictions. It is approved for use in the food sector and UL certified on some label materials.

This quality has very good smudge and scratch resistance, as well as the best chemical resistance for a resin-NE quality. There is even some basic resistance to petrol, brake fluid and hydraulic oil, as well as grease and hand perspiration, making it ideal for use in both chemical and food applications.

Although it is suitable for all applications, it is mainly used in direct printing (TTO – Thermal Transfer Overprint) on packaging films for the imprint of variable information.

Product range

We manufacture thermal transfer ribbons of this quality to order in every possible dimension and design to measure!
For an optimal use of material and the best price, the jumbo roll width should be used completely. The minimum quantity for a made-to-measure order is 200m².
