For details on suitable applications for different thermal transfer ribbon types see below:
Wax Ribbons - The most economical choice for general purpose tag and labelling applications including shipping, warehousing, retail, textile, and apparel. Choose a wax ribbon when printing on uncoated and coated paper tag and label stocks, and low end filmic labels. Ideal in applications where the label is purely for identification purposes and will be thrown away as part of the packaging.
Wax-Resin Ribons - The best choice when a higher level of scratch, smear, and/or mild chemical resistance is needed in labelling applications. Premium wax/resin ribbons print well on coated paper tag and label stocks, low end films, and even some polyester labels.
Resin Ribbons - For labelling in harsh environments requiring resistance to abrasion, heat, and/or chemicals. Applications include chemical drum labelling, electronics labelling, pharmaceutical and medical device labelling, automotive and industrial work-in-process labelling. Resin ribbons are compatible with high end synthetic films.
