Compatible with Zebra - 1/2" Core 74M CSO.</p> <p><strong>Thermal Transfer Ribbon</strong></p> <p>In thermal transfer printing, the printer, ribbon and substrate work together as a printing system. The technology is simple and works by melting ink from the thermal transfer ribbon onto the receiver/substrate. Thermal transfer printing is reliable and low maintenance, and can be applied in a wide range of on-demand printing applications. IIMAK thermal transfer ribbons are the only ribbons to feature Clean Start, the patented printhead cleaner built in the ribbon.</p> <p><strong>Wax/Resin Ribbons</strong></p> <p>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 then wax ribbons. As resins are harder then 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. Wax/Resin ribbons are slightly expensive than wax ribbons.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
