Thermal Transfer Ribbon

T 171 Gr

Wax
Flat-Head

The print has limited smudge resistance, but is not scratch resistant. It can be removed with an eraser after a few cycles, but remains legible in the adhesive tape test. The print is waterproof, but resistance to chemicals is low.

Applications of coloured thermal transfer ribbons are the printing of labels, when important information should be highlighted in colour or printed in company colour and of course when the colour on the label has to match the product: our classic green or bottle green is used for natural products and beverages.

If the colour does not fit exactly, we can develop custom colours from a purchase quantity of 10,000 m²!
