Printronix thermal transfer label printers

Advantages of Printronix thermal transfer printers

• Durable indirect thermal printing: ink from the thermal transfer ribbon is transferred to the label using a heated printhead, creating a long-lasting print suitable even for longer-term use.
• Wide selection of print media: depending on the selected ribbon, it is possible to print on uncoated and coated paper labels as well as on various synthetic materials, such as polypropylene or polyester.
• Wax, Wax/Resin, and Resin ribbons: Printronix Auto ID offers various thermal transfer ribbon formulations that allow printing to be tailored to the required quality, material, and level of durability.
• High-quality barcode printing: the manufacturer offers ribbons designed for barcode printing with an emphasis on sharp edges, good image quality, and reliable readability.
• Resistance according to the specific application: by choosing the right combination of media, ribbon, and adhesive, labels can be created that are resistant to moisture, temperature changes, scratching, UV radiation, chemicals, or other environmental influences.
• Use in professional operations: Printronix thermal transfer labels are used, for example, in logistics, warehouses, manufacturing, the automotive industry, retail, or for product and asset identification.

The correct combination of label and thermal transfer ribbon

The resulting quality and durability of thermal transfer printing depend on the correct combination of the printer, ribbon, and the medium used. Therefore, Printronix Auto ID offers several types of ribbons for different applications. Wax ribbons are primarily suitable for standard labeling and paper labels, the Wax/Resin combination expands the range of applications to coated papers and films, and Resin ribbons are intended for applications with high requirements for mechanical and chemical resistance.

For thermal transfer printing, you can also choose suitable self-adhesive labels according to size, material, and the conditions to which the final labeling will be exposed.
