Godex RT200 & RT230i Ribbon Selection

Choosing the Right Ribbon for Your Labels

Selecting the correct ribbon is essential for achieving the best print quality and durability. Here is a quick guide to help you choose:

• Wax Ribbon — Best for standard paper-based thermal transfer paper labels, tags, color labels, and polypropylene labels. Wax ribbons offer excellent print quality at an economical price for everyday labeling applications.
• Wax/Resin Ribbon — Ideal for synthetic labels like polyester and polypropylene, as well as tags where you need greater durability than wax alone can provide. This hybrid formula delivers sharper images and better resistance to smudging and scratching.
• Resin Ribbon — The best choice for synthetic labels where you need maximum durability in harsh environments, including exposure to chemicals and heat. Use resin ribbon with polyester labels, polypropylene, and vinyl when your labels must withstand extreme conditions.

Popular Applications for Godex RT200 & RT230i Printers

The Godex RT200i and RT230i are versatile desktop printers used across many industries. They are especially popular for printing oil change labels, where the resin ribbon is the preferred choice to ensure labels remain legible despite exposure to grease, oil, and fluctuating temperatures. These printers are also widely used in jewellery stores to print price labels and tags, and again, the resin ribbon provides the best durability to keep text and barcodes crisp and readable over time.
