Choosing the Right Ribbon

Selecting the correct ribbon ensures optimal print quality, durability and printhead life. Consider the following:

Printer Type
Different printers require specific ribbon configurations, including ink-in/ink-out orientation, core size and maximum width.

Label Material
Ribbon and label compatibility is critical. Paper labels typically use wax or wax/resin, while synthetic labels require resin.

Print Speed
Higher print speeds can affect print quality if the ribbon is not designed for high-speed performance.

Durability Requirements
Consider how long the label needs to last and whether it must resist scratching, chemicals, heat or outdoor exposure.

Printhead Protection
Using high-quality ribbons helps protect your printhead and extend its lifespan, reducing costly downtime and replacements.
