Frequently Asked Questions
What is thermal transfer printing?
This technique transfers a layer of ink from a carrier ribbon to a substrate through the controlled heating of a thermal printer head. The print is durable and resistant to abrasion, temperature, light, and most chemicals, making it suitable for industrial, logistics, and product labeling.
Which TTR tape should I choose: wax, wax/resin or resin?
Wax ribbons are an economical choice for paper applications, such as logistics and shipping labels. Wax/resin ribbons combine cost and durability on coated papers and select films. Resin ribbons provide superior durability on synthetic films, with chemical, temperature, and abrasion resistance.
Do you have tapes for textile labels?
Yes. We offer wash-resistant textile label tapes, as well as colorful and low-energy options.
Are the ribbons compatible with my printer?
We select ribbons for desktop and industrial printers from leading manufacturers. Provide your printer model, label type, and resistance requirements, and we'll recommend the appropriate ribbon.
Do you also supply self-adhesive labels?
Yes. The tapes are complemented by self-adhesive labels made of paper and synthetic foils, tailored to the tape type and application.
