What is the difference between TTO Wax/Resin Ribbon and Resin Ribbon

The mixed base and resin base in the TTO ribbon are mainly different in the following aspects:

Material and structure:

Wax/Resin Ribbon: It is made of a mixture of materials, usually carbon fiber, polymer materials, etc., which makes the ribbon have multiple properties.

Resin Ribbon: Mainly based on resin, may contain single or multi-layer structure, and has specific electrical insulation, corrosion resistance and other properties.

Performance characteristics:

Wax/Resin Ribbon: usually has good heat resistance, corrosion resistance, suitable for all kinds of paper, PVC, tag and other self-adhesive label printing. In addition, Wax/Resin Ribbon film thickness is thinner than normal ribbon, printing sensitivity is better, can achieve high concentration, high quality and high speed printing, and printed graphics are scratch-resistant.

Resin Ribbon: printing adhesion is particularly good, with high temperature resistance, anti-alcohol cleaning and other characteristics, very suitable for a variety of laminated paper, plastic film label printing. Its electrical insulation and mechanical properties are also excellent, and can remain stable in humid, corrosive and high temperature environments.

Application field:

Wax/Resin Ribbon: widely used in a variety of label printing, especially in the need of high speed, high quality printing, such as food industry baking food packaging, pharmaceutical, paper and other industries.

Resin Ribbon: It is more used in applications where printing adhesion and friction resistance are highly required, such as high-end food packaging, pharmaceutical industry, etc., but also used in NFC electronic cards, fitness meters and other electronic products housing and connection system.

Storage and use environment:

Whether it is a mixed base or Resin Ribbon, it is recommended to use and store under specific environmental conditions to ensure the best performance and printing results. It is usually recommended to use an environment of 5℃-35℃ and relative humidity of 45%-85%.

To sum up, Wax/Resin Ribbon and Resin Ribbon have obvious differences in material, performance characteristics, application fields, storage and use environment. The type of ribbon chosen depends on the specific application requirements and the characteristics of the printing material.
