Wax Resin

Wax Resin ribbons are a combination of wax and resin based colorant substances in which resin substances hold a greater percentage. Wax / Resin ribbons are made of two or more layers. Resin substances have a higher melting point thus increasing the melting point of the ribbon. Printing with Wax Resin ribbons takes place at a higher heat or energy setting then wax ribbons. As resins are harder then waxes image durability ,chemical resistance and abrasion smudge scratch resistance is more than that of wax based ribbons. They also assure excellent edge definition. Wax Resin ribbons can be used with glossy or smooth surfaces, synthetic materials. Printing speeds of 16 inches per second can be achieved with Wax Resin ribbons. Wax Resin ribbons can be used for all purposes where wax ribbons are used but where there is a chance of abrasion or scratch due to contact.

The proper temperature range is the key to thermal printing wax resin ribbons. Our superior ribbon combinations allow you to print at low temperature settings prolonging print head life, enhanced smudge and scratch resistance, higher printing speeds and superior print quality on flood coated labels.
