WAX/RESIN RIBBONS
A versatile balance of print quality and durability.
Wax/resin ribbons bridge the gap between economical wax and high-performance resin. They provide improved scratch, smudge and environmental resistance while printing well on coated papers and many synthetic label materials.
WHY CHOOSE IT
Designed around the way your labels need to perform.
Selecting the right construction is about more than size. Print method, material, adhesive, environment and expected service life all affect the final result.

Improved abrasion and smudge resistance compared with wax.

Strong image quality on coated papers and many synthetics.
