What is Wax/Resin Ribbon

Wax/Resin Ribbon is a consumable used in barcode printers. It is a kind of polyester film coated with wax, resin or mixed ink on one side, and lubricant is applied on the side without ink to prevent the wear of the print head. The ink on the barcode carbon ribbon is subjected to heat and pressure on the print head of the barcode printer. The corresponding text and barcode information is transferred to the label. Generally contains a high percentage of the resin composition of the raw material, which determines the high melting point of this carbon band. The proportion of the mixture changes as needed, mainly for materials with a smooth surface, and is generally suitable for products with strict surface requirements, such as the marking of ordinary consumable products
