Help Me Choose the Right Printer Ribbon

 

Not sure which printer ribbon you need?

  • Wax ribbons – for paper labels and cost-effective, high-volume printing
  • Wax / resin ribbons – where improved smudge and abrasion resistance is required, suitable for paper labels and some synthetic label materials.
  • Resin ribbons – for synthetic materials and harsh or regulated environments
