Choose between Economy or Premium

For standalone “flathead” thermal transfer printers from manufacturers like Zebra®, Honeywell® and SATO®, most applications will require a standard Wax or Wax-Resin ribbon.

Wax 4U 100 is the most economical choice. For more demanding conditions, choose the resin-enhanced Wax 4U 120. Another step-up is the Wax-Resin 4U 250, then the premium quality Wax-Resin 4U 200 and finally the Resin 4U 300.

If you’re printing at high-speed with “Near Edge” printing, we offer a choice of tailored ink ribbon qualities. They’re perfect for printing directly on product packaging with for example a Videojet® or Markem® printer. Choose the Wax Resin 4U 421 or 411 for most use cases.

It’s important to have the right combination of printer, settings, substrates and ribbons. Ask us for advise and free samples.

What quality ribbon do you need?

Thermo transfer ribbons come in three qualities with a wide range of types and features:

Wax ribbon is the most common type of thermal printing ribbon. It is recommended for coated and uncoated papers and is often used for shipping labels, warehouse labels, and retail. The ribbon is coated with a wax-based ink that requires a low transfer temperature.

Wax Resin ribbon is more resistant to changes in humidity and temperature. It has a transfer temperature between wax and resin ribbons and is often used for shipping labels, barcode labels and pharmaceutical applications. They provide a sharp and clear image on a wide range of material types.

Resin ribbon is made with a full layer of pure resin. The transfer temperature is very high, so the pressure dissolves in the label, resulting in a very durable print. It is often used for textile labels, medical applications and flexible packaging.

If you are new to the 4U brand of thermal transfer ribbons, you will probably want to test the quality first. No problem. Simply request your samples online.
