Wax/Resin Ribbons

Wax/Resin

Wax/Resin ribbons are unique in formulation and function. The most critical quality they have to possess is the ability to print on a broad array of label substrates from high-end glossy paper to low-end synthetics. Fortunately, DNP’s wax/resin formulations lead the industry in label adaptability and durability.

Wax/Resin | Formulation Characteristics

Waxes and resins are mixed together to produce ribbons that show improved scratch and smear resistance, as well as improved solvent and heat resistance over wax ribbons. Wax/resin ribbons can be printed on a wide range of label material, but are particularly good matches for coated papers and coated synthetics, such as Kimdura®. Typical applications include bin location labels, and labeling for horticultural and health care applications.

• Contains higher percentage of resin than wax formulations
• Increased heat resistance
• Requires more heat for printing
• Requires higher print energy settings
• More durable
• More expensive
• Prints well on papers and low-end synthetic
