Thermal Transfer Ribbons
High quality thermal ribbons from Sony and Tharo
The
success of thermal transfer imaging relies on two factors;
first, on the quality of the face stock coating and material of the
label or tag being used. Second on the matching
of the proper thermal ribbons to the face stock
coating. Dynamic Bar Code Systems, Inc. offers 3 basic types of high
quality thermal ribbons. Your decision on which to choose
is based on the make and model of your printer and the exact type of
application you have.

The three standard types of thermal ribbons are:

TIP! |
|
Wax Thermal Ribbons -
A thermal transfer ribbon which is low cost and perfect for
printing on most paper stock although it may not be
completely smudge-proof in some instances. |
Make sure when selecting a thermal ribbon that the width of the
thermal ribbon is greater than the width of the label and THE LINER.
Under sizing the width of the ribbon can lead to premature printhead
wear and possible failure. |
|
Wax/Resin Thermal Ribbons -
A thermal transfer ribbon, which is
mid-ranged cost, semi-smudge resistant and is a good value
based on application and material to be printed on. This thermal
ribbon type works on paper as well as many other common
materials. |
|
Resin Thermal Ribbons -
A thermal transfer ribbon, which is a
higher cost, guaranteed smudge-proof on most labels and
tags and performs on media almost as though laminated. This thermal
ribbon type is used for UL-CSA
applications, polyimide circuit board labels and other
demanding situations. |
