Thermal Transfer Ribbon

Perfect N 407 Sw

Wax/resin
Near-Edge

is the perfect solution for universal use on near-edge label printers and direct printing systems. This wax/resin quality is known for its high-contrast black print. It meets the highest demands in terms of finest resolutions. Printing the smallest elements, technical drawings and 2D barcodes is effortless.

Thanks to the high sensitivity, in addition to saving energy, the print buttons are efficiently protected, which significantly extends their service life.

The flexibility of this grade allows printing on a variety of paper and board surfaces, a wide range of synthetic materials and packaging films.

The print has a rather low resistance.

The quality is certified for use in the food sector. Fields of application are the printing of product and logistic labels with NE printers – in the food industry but also for technical products and chemicals. PERFECT / N 407 Sw can also be used in direct printers for overprinting packaging films (TTO – thermal transfer overprint).
