POSGuys Thermal Transfer Ribbons have a range of options that are compatible with most of the top selling barcode and label printers in the market. We have Label Ribbons for industrial tabletop printers and desktop printers available in 3 different grades: Wax, Wax-Resin and a new Solvent Free Wax for Eco-Conscience Companies.
Wax-Resin Ribbon
The wax-resin ribbon is a great choice with a high quality print and wide field of application options. Ideal for label printing that will last over a year such as barcode labels, the wax-resin combo provides a clear lasting image. Printing well on coated papers and synthetics, the wax-resin ribbon has a good resistance to smudges for a faster print speed.
Wax Ribbon
For a more economical solution POSGuys wax ribbon is your best choice. Wax prints will last about a year and are ideal for shipping labels and high turnover products such as consignment tags or shelf labels. The wax ribbon can be used on a variety of paper labels such as vellum and coated papers and has a good resistance to smudges.
Resin
When you need unmatched print quality and durability, Resin Ribbons are a top choice. These ribbons excel when used with synthetic materials and some top-coated labels and tags, providing exceptional performance even in harsh to extreme environments. Whether your application involves exposure to strong chemicals, ultra-high temperatures, or harsh outdoor conditions, Resin Ribbons ensure that your prints remain clear and resilient. Choose Resin Ribbons when your projects demand the highest level of print endurance and reliability.
