Ink ribbon to optimise every printing application There are three main types of ribbons in the market, namely Wax, Wax/Resin and Resin. SATO works closely with you to identify the best ribbon for your printing application based on the label’s facestock as each type of facestock has different chemical and physical properties. We conduct tests to match the best ribbon type with your label to achieve the best print quality.

Matching service to find the best ribbon for your label SATO will conduct tests to find the best ribbon to match your label so as to achieve the best print quality outcome. 3 main types of ribbons: • Wax Ribbons - Wax ribbons are the most commonly used ribbon type and provide an economical solution for thermal transfer labels. Wax ribbons can be used with comparatively absorbent uncoated face papers as well as with coated papers. • Wax/Resin Ribbons- Wax/Resin ribbons supply high performance for a variety of uses. Using wax/resin ribbon, printed image can turn out to be more durable and mechanically resistant. Wax/resin ribbons are intended for use with non-absorbent materials such as coated paper and films, but they can also be used with Vellum when exceptional mechanical resistance is required. • Resin Ribbons- Resin ribbons are designed for use in very demanding applications. Images printed with a resin ribbon have very high resistance to mechanical wear, solvents and heat.
