Welcome to Advance Label Technology’s inventory of thermal transfer ribbons, where you’ll find competitively priced printer ribbons that you can use to produce shipping labels, barcodes, product identification labels, box labels and more.
Unlike direct thermal printing, thermal transfer employs a thermal transfer ribbon which creates a strong, high contrast black coloring for a dense high-quality result.
Wax Ribbons
Wax is the least expensive to buy and prints very well with low energy needs. The print from wax ribbons is not the best for scratch and rub resistance (although it’s great on certain plastic film), and is ideal for many applications.
Wax/Resin Ribbons
Wax/Resin are slightly more expensive, but have a much higher level of scratch and rub resistance, while still being easy to use.
Resin Ribbons
Resin ribbons offer much higher levels of scratch and rub resistance and perform very well in alcohol resistance tests. This type of ribbon is ideal for labeling pharmaceutical and medical products. Although they require higher printhead energy, the resin ribbons in our range print very well at high speeds on most printers.
