Thermal transfer ribbons
When printing under extreme production conditions, such as low temperatures, a humid climate and with chemical materials, etc. you will require thermal transfer printing and ink ribbons (TTR). All labels that need to stand the test of time, such as those used in storage, are best printed on this kind of high-quality printing and ink ribbons.
The print head heats the ink on the ink ribbon and passes it over the label to be printed. This system allows you to print on various synthetic materials such as polyethylene, vinyl, polypropylene, polyester, etc.
Thermal transfer printing and ink ribbons (TTR) are ideal for both printing variable information on labels and also for printing directly onto packaging.
