Thermal Transfer Ribbons
Superior Print Quality on Flexible Packaging
How to choose the right ribbon
In thermal transfer printing, the printer, ribbon and substrate work together as a printing system. The technology is simple and works by melting ink from the thermal transfer ribbon onto the receiver/substrate. Thermal transfer printing is reliable and low maintenance, and can be applied in a wide range of on-demand printing applications.
