Product FAQ

Yes, especially when used with synthetic labels and resin-based ribbons.
No, thermal transfer ribbon cannot be reused. Once it passes through the printer, the ink has already been transferred onto the label, leaving the used section of ribbon with no usable coating. For consistent print quality, a new ribbon must be installed.
Yes. Depending on the formulation (wax, wax-resin, or resin), it can offer resistance to scratches, chemicals, and sometimes high temperatures.
White thermal transfer ribbon is ideal for printing on dark or colored labels where black ink would not be visible. It provides strong contrast, making barcodes, text, and graphics easy to read. Black ribbon is more common and cost-effective for standard labels, but white ribbon offers a clear advantage when high visibility on non-white surfaces is required.
Thermal transfer ribbon prints are very durable and usually do not fade quickly. Under normal indoor conditions, the image can last for several years. In harsher environments with heat, sunlight, or chemicals, fading may occur sooner, depending on the ribbon type (wax, wax-resin, or resin).
It is mainly used for printing clear white text, barcodes, or graphics on dark-colored or transparent label materials.
