More about this ribbon

Wax/resin ribbons blend wax and resin to print tougher than plain wax, resisting smudging, scratching, moisture and mild chemicals so barcodes and text stay sharp and scannable through more handling and storage.

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 prints on coated paper and many synthetic materials, the mid-range choice between economical wax and premium resin. Choose a ribbon a little wider than your label so the printhead stays covered.

Frequently asked questions

What is a wax/resin ribbon?
A wax/resin ribbon blends wax and resin so the print is tougher than plain wax. It resists smudging, scratching, moisture and mild chemicals better, and works on coated paper as well as many synthetic label materials.
How is it different from wax and resin?
It is the mid-range grade: more durable than economical wax (which is paper-only), but more cost-effective than premium resin (which is built for synthetics and harsh conditions). Wax/resin suits coated paper and many synthetics.
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 wax/resin ribbon for durable barcodes on a 55mm-class desktop thermal transfer printer, on coated paper or many synthetics. A dependable mid-grade ribbon when plain wax is not tough enough but full resin is more than you need.
