Thermal Transfer Ribbon

T 200 We

Wax
Flat-Head

is a white wax quality that is particularly suitable for high-contrast printing of black and transparent labels and tags.

The T 200 We has a thick ink layer and therefore prints very white: the optical density of the print on black label stock is 0.2. It is suitable for dark pre-printed papers (vellum, matt, gloss and cast-coated papers) and cardboard labels. It also prints on foils – but has only low smudge resistance. The print has limited erasure resistance and is well anchored to the label so that it remains legible in the tape test.

Thanks to the fine resolution, it is also possible to reproduce small letters and fine lines in a good print image. The quality can only be used on label printers with flat-head printheads.

The quality is also very flexible and prints excellently over a wide temperature range.

The quality is used for high-contrast printing in white on black or dark pre-printed labels or tags. Such dark, noble-looking materials are used in the food and beverage industry as well as in the cosmetics sector.
