A thermal transfer ribbon is a crucial component in thermal transfer printing, a technology used for creating high-quality and durable prints on various materials.

It consists of a thin, ink-coated film that is heated by the printer's thermal printhead. The heat causes the ink to transfer from the ribbon onto the printing surface, producing a permanent and long-lasting image.

TTR plays a key role in creating clear and durable prints on labels, tags, packaging and other materials.

There are 3 types of Thermal Transfer Ribbon with different characteristics.

◆ WAX RIBBON

Wax ribbons contain a high concentration of wax-based ink. They are suitable for printing on paper labels and are cost-effective.

Best Use: Ideal for applications where the printed material is not exposed to harsh conditions or rough handling. Commonly used for shipping labels, retail tags, and other general-purpose labeling.

◆ WAX RESIN RIBBON

Wax-resin ribbons are a blend of wax and resin materials. This combination results in a ribbon that offers better durability compared to wax ribbons.

Best Use: Suitable for applications that require a higher level of durability, often used in food and flexible packaging printing, it provides better resistance to scratches, smudging, and some chemicals.

◆ RESIN RIBBON

Resin ribbons contain a high concentration of resin-based ink. They are known for their high durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.

Best Use: Ideal for applications where prints need to withstand extreme conditions, including exposure to chemicals, oil, gasoline, moisture, and abrasion. Commonly used for asset tags, outdoor labels, healthcare products, etc.

▶ INK BLENDING

We carefully select the best materials in order to produce the best printing result.

▶ COATING

The coating process is run through multi-layered checking to meet our high standard.

▶ SLITTING

Tailoring to your needs and specification, slitting is done and monitored strictly by our experienced technician.

▶ QUALITY CHECK

A final thorough quality check is also implemented at every production cycle.

▶ FLAT HEAD

FLAT HEAD ribbons are developed for FLAT HEAD print head. Flat Head print heads are found in the printers of most of the major manufacturers, such as Zebra, Sato, Datamax, TSC.
Commonly used for label printing.

▶ NEAR EDGE / Thermal Transfer Overprinter (TTO)

This type of print head is sometimes called a “Corner Edge” print head. “Near Edge” print heads are found mainly in TEC, AVERY, Markem, Videojet, Domino etc.
Best used for flexible packaging (expired date printing,etc)
