Wax Resin Ribbon

Wax Resin ribbons are a combination of wax and resin-based colorant substances in which resin substances hold a greater percentage. Wax Resin ribbons are made of two or more layers. Resin substances have a higher melting point thus increasing the melting point of the ribbon. Printing with Wax / Resin ribbons takes place at a higher heat or energy setting than wax ribbons. As resins are harder than waxes image durability, chemical resistance and abrasion smudge scratch resistance is more than that of wax-based ribbons. They also assure excellent edge definition. Wax / Resin ribbons can be used with glossy or smooth surfaces, synthetic materials. Printing speeds of 16 inches per second can be achieved with Wax-Resin ribbons. Wax / Resin ribbons can be used for all purposes where wax ribbons are used but where there is a chance of abrasion or scratch due to contact. This Label ribbon is slightly expensive than wax ribbons.
