PF-TTR-RES · Thermal transfer ribbons

Resin ribbon.

Maximum-durability resin ink for synthetic labels that must survive chemicals, abrasion, heat and outdoor exposure for the life of the product. The grade specified for automotive, electronics, safety and asset identification.

Synthetics only Resin ink Chemical-proof Outdoor
01 · Main properties

Permanent identification that survives the application.

  • Pure resin ink fuses to PET, polyimide, polyolefin and other synthetics.
  • Outstanding resistance to solvents, oils, sterilisation and abrasion.
  • Withstands extreme heat, UV and prolonged outdoor weathering.
  • Sharp, durable 2D codes and micro-text for permanent marking.
  • Autoclave, ESD-safe and chemical-bath formulations available.
  • Higher print energy — pair with durable synthetic stocks.
02 · Applications

Where it earns its place.

  • Automotive under-hood and component labels.
  • Electronics, PCB and ESD-safe identification.
  • Chemical drum and GHS labels exposed to solvents.
  • Asset tags, rating plates and safety labels.
  • Autoclave / sterilisation labels for medical instruments.
03 · Compatible printers

Best on industrial printers running higher darkness.

  • Industrial — Zebra ZT / 220Xi, SATO CL4NX Plus, Toshiba B-EX.
  • Datamax-O'Neil / Honeywell PM / PX series.
  • High-resolution 300 / 600 dpi heads for micro-text.
  • Set darkness high and speed moderate for full bond.
04 · Technical specification

Construction and performance.

Resin requires more head energy than wax grades — confirm darkness on a test label before committing the run.
