Thermal Transfer Ribbon

TDM200

Wax/resin
Flat-Head

is our economical wax/resin quality, offering an affordable and efficient solution suitable for all flat-head printers. It delivers reliable print results on almost all label materials – from vellum and coated papers to PE and PP films. On heavily pigmented, matte papers, it leaves no abrasion and is particularly well-suited for coated surfaces.

The print quality is characterized by high density on all materials. On films, it provides fine resolution and excellent overall quality.

Thanks to its sensitivity, this wax/resin grade is printhead-friendly and, with its good backcoating, performs reliably even in high-volume printing.

The overall durability of the print is good. It shows limited resistance to certain chemicals, including alcohol (IPA), brake fluid, and hydraulic oil.

Product range

Our standard wax/resin quality from the proven Advantage Range covers a wide range of common applications and is available with a minimum order quantity of just one carton.
All cartons are of uniform size and contain between 8 and 30 rolls, depending on the roll width, ensuring convenient handling and easy onward shipping.
