Wax, Wax/Resin or Full Resin Near-Edge Ribbons?

Choosing the correct ribbon formulation depends on what you are printing and the durability your application requires.

Wax ribbons are a good choice for many general-purpose applications.

Wax/resin ribbons provide increased durability and are often used when greater resistance to handling and abrasion is needed.

Full resin ribbons provide the highest level of resistance to heat, chemicals, and abrasion for more demanding applications.

The ribbon also needs to work properly with the material being printed. Paper labels may work well with wax or wax/resin formulations, while synthetic materials such as polypropylene and polyester may require wax/resin or resin.
