Thermal transfer ribbons come in 3 main varieties, depending on type of print head:
-
Wax: Apt for standard printing, wax ribbons have lower melting points than resin substances, and hence printing can be done at lower heat settings.
Best suited for: General purpose Labelling, shipping labels, address labels, garment tags, price tickets, warehouse applications, compliance label printing, shelf and bin labels, retail tag and label applications. - Wax/Resin: It offers excellent resistance to chemicals on paper. It can be used with glossy or smooth surfaces and synthetic materials, where there is a chance of abrasion or scratch due to contact.
-
Resin: Resin ribbons are durable against chemicals and its long life makes it best suited for harsh environments which have extreme conditions. Printing with resin ribbons is done at high energy levels as resins have a high melting point.
