• Wax/resin ribbons – Designed to print on synthetic label materials, wax/resin ribbons offer the versatility to handle thermal transfer printing on coated papers, polyester labels, vinyl labels, and more.

Get the Right Ribbon

It's important to get the right ribbon for your printer model and application. Label Expert can help you select the perfect thermal transfer ribbon to fit your printer and label application requirements.

We have desktop and industrial thermal transfer ribbons for:

• Zebra, Brother, Toshiba, Citizen, TSC, GoDEX desktop thermal transfer label printers
• Zebra, Datamax, SATO, Intermec, Toshiba, Brother, Citizen, Printronix, GoDEX, and TSC industrial thermal transfer printers
• Other Zebra-compatible thermal transfer brands

Here are a few points to keep in mind:

• Thermal transfer printers require the ink to be coated on either the inside or outside of the ribbon roll. Make sure you get the correct ribbon style for your printer. For example, a ribbon may technically be the right size for your printer, but if the ink side is on the wrong side for your printer, it won't work.
• Quality matters. Check out our selection of premium thermal transfer ribbons for superior performance and durability. We also offer general-purpose ribbons with a good balance of quality and affordability.
• Your application requirements and label materials determine which type of thermal transfer ribbon you should get – wax, wax/resin, or resin. Consider your application. If the label material needs to withstand harsh chemicals or abrasion, you should get a resin ribbon. On the other hand, a wax ribbon may be best for general-purpose printing on paper labels.
• Ribbon rolls come in various widths and lengths. The printer must be able to accommodate the ribbon size you select.
• Core sizes also matter. Make sure you get the right core size for your printer rollers or dispensing devices.
