Common questions
What printers are compatible with this thermal transfer ribbon?
This ribbon is designed for Datamax, Zebra, and Sato brand thermal transfer printers. The 2.52" width and standard core fit most label printers from these manufacturers. Verify your specific printer model before ordering.
How does the Printhead Saver coating reduce costs?
The protective coating minimizes friction between the ribbon and printhead, reducing wear and extending printhead lifespan by thousands of prints. Lower print temperatures and ability to print at faster speeds (up to 12 IPS) also decrease energy consumption and reduce overall operating costs.
Is this ribbon suitable for high-speed shipping label applications?
Yes. The wax formulation allows printing speeds up to 12 IPS with excellent print quality, making it ideal for high-volume shipping operations. The smudge-resistant formula ensures labels remain legible and barcode-scannable throughout the shipping process.
What is included in one case order?
One case contains 36 individual rolls of 2.52" x 1181' black wax ribbon. This quantity is typically sufficient for mid-sized operations running continuous thermal transfer printing operations for 2-4 weeks, depending on daily volume.
