Description
Thermal transfer ribbons with a combination of wax and synthetic resins.
Compatibility: For printing on glossy paper, thermal transfer board, polyethylene, and some synthetic materials.
Wax-Resin ribbons offer a "golden mean" between wax and resin ribbons. They are more abrasion-resistant than wax, but more affordable than resin. An example is the jewelry industry, where tags are printed on thermal transfer board and must have a bright, abrasion-resistant image that won't rub off when handled.
However, Wax-Resin is not suitable for industries with aggressive operating conditions (furniture, footwear, automotive, etc.), where exposure to chemicals may occur.
Wax-Resin applications: Jewelry, Light industry, Flexible packaging; Products in the store; Clothing tags; Health care;
