Ribbons
Inferior thermal ribbons can lead to failed label performance, damaged printheads, lost productivity, and ultimately reduced profits. That’s why we provide the best ribbons on the market that give you premium print quality and performance consistency every time. Put through stringent quality tests, our ribbons consistently deliver the best print quality and durability, which enables prolonged printhead life, decreased total cost of ownership, and exceptional scanning performance.
Wax Ribbons
Wax Ribbons offer excellent print quality at high speeds and superior abrasion resistance when compared with conventional wax ribbons. These ribbons work best for most general-purpose, short-term labeling applications. Best used with paper materials, where fast print speeds are required (Up to 12 ips), and in environments with little to no exposure to chemicals and/or abrasion.
Wax/Resin Ribbons
Wax/Resin Ribbons are cost-effective and can be used on a wide range of materials, reducing the need to stock multiple ribbons. They offer very good resistance to scratches and smears, everyday chemicals, and higher temperatures when compared with conventional wax/resin ribbons. Best used with top-coated paper and matte synthetic materials and in environments with moderate to harsh exposure to chemicals and/or abrasion.
Resin Ribbons
Resin ribbons exhibit high print quality when printing dense barcodes and high-resolution graphics while performing exceptionally well in environments prone to harsh chemicals and excess abrasion. These ribbons provide excellent chemical and temperature resistance and feature superb print quality, particularly when small fonts, graphics, and rotated barcodes are desired. Best used with all synthetic materials and some top-coated labels and tags, in environments with harsh to extreme exposure to chemicals, ultra-high temperatures, and outdoor environments.
Rigorously Tested to Perform
We take quality seriously. Zebra’s supplies R&D team performs stringent print quality, durability and printhead life tests after printing on a wide range of material types, at various speeds within Zebra printers. So, you can rely on maximum printer up-time and scannable labels.
Find your Match
Choose from wax, wax/resin and resin formulations to meet the durability demands of your application when ideally matched to our thermal transfer materials. They are available for all of Zebra’s industrial and desktop printers. And, Zebra’s wax/resin and resin ribbons are UL certified.
Zero Substitutions
We never substitute ribbons. So, you know you’ll receive the same formulation every time you order. This means consistent and reliable print quality and durability, eliminating potential interruptions to your operations.
Wax/Resin Ribbons – Affordability with Premium Print Quality and Performance, Every Time
We provide a broad range of ribbons from Zebra, including Wax, Wax/Resin, and Resin. Balance affordability with premium print quality and performance, every time and can print labels that withstand tougher conditions, greater handling, and varying environments than a wax ribbon.
