Barcode Thermal Ribbons

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barcode thermal ribbons are consumable supplies used in thermal transfer printing technology to create high-quality, durable, and long-lasting barcode labels, tags, and other printed materials. Thermal transfer printing is commonly used for creating barcodes, product labels, shipping labels, and other types of labels that require high-resolution printing and resistance to environmental factors. Here's how barcode thermal ribbons work: Thermal Transfer Printing Technology: Thermal transfer printing involves the use of a thermal printer that uses heat to transfer ink from a ribbon onto a label or tag. The printer has a print head with heating elements that selectively heat the ribbon and transfer the ink onto the label material. Components of Thermal Ribbons: Base Film: The base film of the ribbon is typically made of polyester or other similar materials that can withstand heat and pressure. Ink Layer: The ink layer of the ribbon contains the pigments or dyes that are transferred onto the label when heated. These inks are designed to adhere to a variety of label materials. Backcoat: The backcoat layer provides anti-static properties and helps protect the print head from wear and abrasion during printing.


Wax

Wax Ribbons

Wax ribbons contain a wax-based ink that provides excellent print quality on paper label materials. They are the most commonly used type of thermal transfer ribbon and are suitable for various applications, including:
