Thermal Transfer Ribbon

TDR345

Resin
Flat-Head

It is our highly flexible resin grade, suitable for use on a wide range of materials and generally compatible with all flat-head printers. Under certain conditions, it can also be used with NE printers.

This grade delivers deep black prints with excellent resolution, reproducing fine lines and small text with precision. It is particularly flexible and provides outstanding results on both film and paper surfaces. For glossy papers, adhesion should be tested beforehand.

The print exhibits extremely high mechanical durability: smudge- and scratch-resistant, not erasable, and cannot be removed with tape.

Its chemical resistance is very high against white spirit, diesel, and oil, moderate against alcohol, and shows partial resistance to brake fluid, hydraulic oil, and gasoline. It can also withstand temperatures up to 170 °C under friction without affecting print quality.

Typical applications:

  • Nameplates in machinery and plant engineering
  • Marking of mechanical parts and electrical components
  • High-quality, durable labels on paper and film
