Thermal Transfer Ribbon

 

 

 


Clean Start Ribbon Cleaner

 

 

Clean Start Ribbon

Clean Start is built into the rolls of ribbon. It is a fast and easy to use.

It helps to:

 

  • Maintain excellent print quality

  • Prolong printhead life

  • Minimizes costly downtime


Over time a printhead that is not cleaned will have debris that hardens and bakes on the printhead elements and blocks heat resulting in poor quality.

 

The printhead is an expensive part of the printer. Regular cleaning can help it have a longer life

Wax is most economical choice for general purpose tag and labeling applications including shipping, warehousing, retail, textile, and apparel. Choose a wax ribbon when printing on uncoated and coated paper tag and label stocks, and low end film labels like Kimdura®.

 

Combo is the right choice when a higher level of scratch and smear and/or mild chemical resistance is needed in labeling applications including shelf and bin labels, textile, apparel, nursery, and lumber. Premium wax/resin ribbons print well on coated paper tag and label stocks, low end films, and some polyester labels.

 

Resin is for harsh environment labeling applications where resistance to extreme abrasion, heat, and/or chemicals is imperative. Applications include nursery and lumber tags, chemical drum labels, pharmaceutical and medical labeling, outdoor labeling, automotive and industrial work-in-process labeling. Super premium resin ribbons are compatible with higher end synthetic films like polyester and polyimide

Often, manufacturers and distributors need to identify things at a glance. Employees may need to quickly see what date something was manufactured or received on, where an item was manufactured, or what product line an item belongs to. It can also be important to differentiate between sizes of particular items.

 

This is where color comes in. Color can be a powerful tool when combined with thermal transfer printing. Printing color tags and labels assure quick visual recognition for coding, stocking, tracking, or retrieving merchandise. Additionally, printing color on-demand reduces the inventory and cost of pre-printed labels. Color is also a great marketing tool. Logos and special events or promotions can be incorporated into the tag or label format to bring attention to that item.
