Is there a difference between Wax/Resin Ribbon and Resin Ribbon

There are obvious differences between Wax/Resin Ribbon and Resin Ribbon, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Composition and characteristics:

Wax/Resin Ribbon: Also known as half Wax and half Resin Ribbon, it combines some of the characteristics of Wax/Resin Ribbon and resin ribbon. This carbon belt has solvent resistance, high definition, high resolution, and a wide range of applicability.

Resin Ribbon: Mainly made of resin material, has excellent mechanical strength and electrical insulation properties. It is characterized by strong corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and high temperature resistance.

Printing effect and durability:

Wax/Resin Ribbon: High quality print effect, moderate durability, can meet most label printing needs, especially in the need for certain scratch and corrosion resistance.

Resin Ribbon: Superior in scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, chemical resistance and resolution, ideal for labels requiring long-term storage or high durability.

Applicable material:

Wax/Resin Ribbon: widely used in all kinds of label printing, such as coated paper, mirror paper, coated paper, synthetic paper, PET, PVC, etc.

Resin Ribbon: suitable for non-paper labels, especially polyester and plastic labels, such as synthetic paper, PVC, PET, washed labels, etc.

Price and Application Scenarios:

Wax/Resin Ribbon: Usually priced between Wax/Resin Ribbon and Resin Ribbon, it is a cost-effective option for many different applications.

Resin Ribbon: Due to its excellent durability and printing effect, the price is usually relatively high, and it is more suitable for special applications where the durability of the label is very high.

To sum up, Wax/Resin Ribbon and Resin Ribbon have significant differences in composition, printing effect and durability, applicable materials, and price and application scenarios. The choice of carbon strip depends on the specific printing needs, budget and the characteristics of the application environment.
