Thermal Transfer Ribbons
Wax Formula
Ahearn & Soper offers a multipurpose thermal transfer ribbon with a resin-enhanced wax formulation which provides excellent print clarity and high smudge resistance in a wide variety of applications. These applications include high speed printing, compliance labeling, work-in-process, logistics, and applications requiring rotated barcodes. Our anti-static formulation and back-coating prolong print-head life, and provides superior abrasion resistance compared to conventional wax products.
Wax / Resin Formula
Our midrange thermal transfer ribbon is the next step when you require outstanding print quality combined with some chemical and solvent resistance. By providing smear and scratch resistance on coated paper and matte synthetic label stocks, this ribbon results in excellent staying power and durability. The anti-static formula and unique back-coating protects the life of the print-head.
Resin Formula
Ahearn & Soper’s full range of resin ribbons are specifically formulated to provide extremely dense images for ultimate scan rates producing clean, extremely durable, dense barcodes. Combined with the right synthetic label or tag, these ribbons resist moisture, abrasion, extreme temperature and solvents. The ribbons print at moderate to high heat settings, and features an anti-static, heat resistant back-coating. Ahearn & Soper can confidently chose the right ribbon for the right application. Resin ribbons are usually used for outdoor and chemical drum applications, automotive, and hospital labs.
