Thermal Transfer Ribbons
The technology itself is very simple. It offers users a single band of one-time-use ribbon. This ensures that each printed label is fresh and unique as opposed to other printing methods. They are used in unison with thermal transfer printers and are generally made from a backing layer, a carrier layer and an ink, resin or wax layer on top. The thermal transfer ribbons are aligned and fed through the printer. Once the printer has heated the ribbon, its ink, resin or wax layer melts and is transferred onto the label or a variety of other materials, producing a perfect, once-off image.
Because these top layers are “dry ink” they do not smudge or fade due to ink shortages. They are strong and durable and, based on which top layer would best suit your needs, may be used in many different industries and for many different applications, including but not exclusive to:
- Retail
- Manufacturing and production industries
- Healthcare
- Pharmaceutical sector
- Logistics
- Freight and transportation industries
At Teraoka, we identify many other sectors and industries and our qualified, experienced engineers will assist you in deciding which of our many types of thermal transfer ribbons to use.
