CORE RIBBON TYPES

Choose the Ribbon by Receiver and End Use

Ribbon formulation affects material compatibility, print durability and printer settings. Start with the receiver and finished-use conditions, then confirm the roll specification for the printer.

Wax Thermal Transfer Ribbons

Wax Thermal Transfer Ribbons

For regular barcode, shipping and inventory labels on compatible paper receivers. Choose according to the paper coating, printer model and required print density.

Explore Wax Ribbons
Wax-Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbons

Wax-Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbons

For semi-gloss paper and selected synthetic receivers when the printed image needs more handling resistance than a standard wax ribbon. Confirm the exact receiver through a print test.

Explore Wax-Resin Ribbons
Full-Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbons

Full-Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbons

For coated and synthetic receivers such as PET, PVC, PE and PP where adhesion and finished-print durability are key selection concerns. Match the formulation to the actual exposure conditions.

Configure the Ribbon for Your Printer

A usable ribbon specification connects the printer, printhead, receiver and roll construction. CISON can review these inputs together and discuss a suitable formulation, color and roll configuration for the application.

1

Share the Printer

Provide the printer model, printhead type and current ribbon reference so the physical fit and printing method can be checked.

2

Identify the Receiver

Send the paper, film, synthetic label or garment ribbon material. Surface coating and background color can change transfer and appearance.

3

Define the Roll

Confirm ribbon width, length, core size and whether the ink is wound inside or outside. Custom roll dimensions can be discussed for compatible equipment.

4

Approve the Result

Use the actual artwork and receiver when possible. Review transfer coverage, edge definition, appearance and required handling conditions before placing a production order.
