3 main types of ribbons:
Wax Ribbons - Wax ribbons are the most commonly used ribbon type and provide an economical solution for thermal transfer labels. Wax ribbons can be used with comparatively absorbent uncoated face papers as well as with coated papers.
Wax/Resin Ribbons- Wax/Resin ribbons supply high performance for a variety of uses. Using wax/resin ribbon, printed image can turn out to be more durable and mechanically resistant. Wax/resin ribbons are intended for use with non-absorbent materials such as coated paper and films, but they can also be used with Vellum when exceptional mechanical resistance is required.
Resin Ribbons- Resin ribbons are designed for use in very demanding applications. Images printed with a resin ribbon have very high resistance to mechanical wear, solvents and heat. This type of ribbon is usually used with film-type face materials like PE, PP and PET, and comparatively less transfer ink is required to produce an opaque image.
