Resin Ribbon - Wax Ribbon

Wax/resin mixed-based carbon ribbons (WAX/RESIN) generally contain a high percentage of resin component raw materials, which determines the high melting point of this Ribbon. Compared with wax-based ribbons when printing with this ribbon, it also requires a higher Energy level, since most resins are harder than wax, the scratch resistance and chemical corrosion resistance of printed graphics are also better than wax-based ribbons. Most mixed base ribbons consist of two or more layers.

If the printed data must be resistant to solvents and high temperatures, etc. For chemical product packaging, or must be resistant to high temperature, used for heating parts of electrical appliances, or must be printed on special chemical products such as PET, it is recommended to use resin ribbons , because the resin component material can meet the above requirements, but this kind of ribbon is usually more expensive, but the printing effect must be matched with paper/printing media to achieve the best printing level.

Wax-based ribbons (Wax Ribbon) usually contain a high percentage of wax-based raw materials, which determine the melting point of the ribbon, and the melting point affects the energy level required for printing. Generally speaking, because the melting point of wax is much lower than that of resin, use wax Ribbon printing requires much lower energy levels than printing with hybrid and resin based ribbons. And because most waxes are softer than resins, the durability of printed graphics is not as good as that of mixed bases and resin bases. Most wax-based ribbons have only one layer of coating.

That is to say, wax and carbon black (assumed to be a black carbon ribbon) are the main materials used as the product of the coating material. Wax-based ribbon is the most economical and cheap ribbon, mainly used for printing on general paper. When using wax-based ribbon, attention must be paid to the cooperation with the paper. Wax-based ribbon is used for materials with a slight bump on the surface. It is not suitable for materials with a smooth surface like a mirror, such as PET products.
