More about this ribbon

Resin ribbons are the toughest, most durable ribbon grade. The resin ink bonds hard to synthetic label materials and stands up to heat, chemicals, solvents, abrasion, moisture and outdoor exposure, keeping barcodes and text readable for the long term.

Resin is made for synthetic labels such as polypropylene and polyester, not plain paper. The 55mm width suits labels up to about 55mm, and the 70m length on a 12.7mm (1/2 inch) core is sized for 4-inch desktop thermal transfer printers. It is the right choice for asset tags, chemical and drum labels, automotive and electronics parts, laboratory and healthcare labels, cold-chain and outdoor labelling. Your printer may need its heat or darkness settings adjusted for resin, so check your printer guide or call us on 1300 198 684.

Frequently asked questions

What is a resin ribbon?
Resin is the most durable ribbon grade. It bonds hard to synthetic labels and resists heat, chemicals, solvents, abrasion, moisture and outdoor exposure, so labels stay readable for years.
How is it different from wax/resin?
Resin is tougher than wax/resin and is designed for synthetic labels and demanding environments (chemicals, heat, abrasion, outdoor). Wax/resin is the mid-range choice for coated paper and lighter synthetic use; plain wax is for paper only.
What labels does it work with?
Synthetic labels such as polypropylene and polyester. Resin is not intended for plain paper labels, where a wax or wax/resin ribbon is more suitable and economical.
Which printers does it fit?
It suits 4-inch desktop thermal transfer printers that take 70m ribbons on a 12.7mm (1/2 inch) core, such as Zebra GK420t, GC420t and ZD-series desktop and TSC desktop models. Choose a ribbon slightly wider than your label so the printhead stays covered.
What core size is this ribbon?
It is supplied on a 12.7mm (1/2 inch) core, wound coated side out, to suit desktop thermal transfer printers.
What does Coated Side Out (CSO) mean?
CSO means the ink coating faces outward on the roll. Most desktop, mid-range and industrial thermal transfer printers use coated-side-out ribbons. If unsure, check your printer manual or call us on 1300 198 684.
Do I need a ribbon if I have a direct thermal printer?
No. Ribbons are only for thermal transfer printers. Direct thermal printers create the image with heat alone and do not use a ribbon.

Choose this Calibor resin ribbon for hard-wearing labels on synthetic stock from a 55mm-class desktop printer, where prints face heat, chemicals, abrasion or outdoor use. For everyday paper labels, a wax or wax/resin ribbon is the more economical choice.
