Description

Transfer ribbon - resin - 110mm x 74m

This resin ribbon is the most durable choice for thermal transfer printing, meant for labels that take a beating: exposure to chemicals, heat, outdoor weather, friction or moisture. Think of labels on chemical drums, industrial rating plates, outdoor storage, or labels on plastic (polypropylene/polyester) packaging. Then this is the right choice. This ribbon measures 110mm x 74m.

The difference with wax lies in the composition: resin is far more chemical- and heat-resistant, and also adheres well to synthetic (plastic) labels, where wax doesn't hold up well enough. Do you mostly print on plain paper indoors, without any special demands? Then a wax ribbon is more affordable and works just as well.

This ribbon is used together with a thermal transfer printer: the printhead melts the resin coating on the ribbon onto the label. That gives a print that resists scratches, solvents and extreme temperatures, and stays legible and scannable long-term, even under harsh conditions.

Universally compatible: suitable for most label printers that support this ribbon format, such as Zebra, Honeywell, TSC, Godex, Citizen and more.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of plastic labels does this resin ribbon work best on?

Resin ribbons are made for synthetic label materials such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and polyester (PET), which is exactly what this ribbon is designed for. Resin bonds well with these plastics in a way wax and even wax/resin often can't match.

It's also a solid choice on some coated papers. The exact result depends on the specific label stock, so if you're unsure, a small test print is worth doing before a large print run.

Is this ribbon resistant to chemicals and moisture?

Yes, resin is the most chemical- and moisture-resistant of the three ribbon types. Depending on the exact combination of this ribbon and your label material, prints can hold up well against water, oils, cleaning agents, alcohol and various other chemicals.

Resistance always depends on the specific label material and the substance involved, some chemicals affect certain label surfaces more than others, so for critical applications it's worth testing your exact label and ribbon combination first.

Can I combine this ribbon with a roll of labels from a different brand than Zebra?

Yes. This ribbon isn't tied to a specific label brand, what matters for print quality is the compatibility between the ribbon's ink formulation and the label's face material and coating, not the label brand name.

In practice, this resin ribbon works well with plastic labels from most brands, as long as the label material itself (PP, PE, PET, or a coated stock) suits resin printing. If you're combining it with an unfamiliar label brand, a quick test print is a sensible precaution.
