Printhead Saver Thermal Transfer Ribbon
Printhead Saver Thermal Transfer Ribbons have proprietary features specifically designed to extend the life of thermal printheads. In our research and development laboratories, we create formulations that call for the lowest printhead energy requirements in the market. Combining low energy usage with our unique anti-static back coating process produces the most printhead friendly ribbons in the industry. Our ribbons' performance characteristics allow printing at lower temperatures and faster speeds which result in reduced printhead costs and lower overall energy usage.

Midrange Formulations
M95/B128 Midrange Resin / Wax Type  
M95/B128 is a true blended product designed to produce excellent results across a wide range of media. This midrange formulation combines the superior performance characteristics of resin with the strong abrasion and environmental resistance characteristics of wax. It supports fast print speeds while retaining an excellent opposition to smearing.
M99/B112 Midrange Wax / Resin Near Edge Type  
M99/B112 is a unique, blended formulation designed to get the maximum efficiency out of near edge printheads while providing superior resin performance characteristics when abrasion and environmental resistance is required. It is a midrange formulation created with specific ink coatings to allow excellent imaging and print density. By successfully combining high print sensitivity with a low ink melting point, printheads will last longer and generate exceptional print clarity.
R-Series Formulations
R90 Premium Full Resin 
R90 is a super-premium, resin-based ribbon specially designed for bar coding applications of polyester and other plastic labels. It enables extremely dense imaging with superior smudge, scratch and solvent resistance. R90 prints at moderate-to-high heat settings and features an anti-static, heat-resistant back coating.
R91 Ultra Premium Full Resin 
R91 is an ultra-premium resin ribbon designed for very demanding applications requiring exceptional solvent resistance to gasoline, motor oils and kerosene. It features super high image density, excellent edge definition, and heat resistance to 300 C. In addition to high printing speeds and low energy release, this ribbon shares the exceptional back coating and print head characteristics of our other products.
R92 Premium High Speed Full Resin 
R92 is a high speed premium resin formulation designed to provide resin performance on thermally receptive paper and synthetic based label stocks. It has extremely high abrasion resistance as well as solvent resistance to isopropyl alcohol and petrochemicals. This premium ribbon is ideal for applications requiring superior heat resistance, high density, and excellent edge definition. Some of its typical applications include medical/pharmaceutical labeling and autoclaving, "steam press" apparel tags, and top coated Tyvek and capital asset labeling.
