thermal transfer printer ribbon can greatly affect your overall label quality

Did you know that selecting the correct thermal transfer printer ribbon  can greatly affect your overall label quality?  Your print quality and print durability are directly impacted by the type of ribbon that you use on your thermal transfer label printer.  Depending on your label stock, you may need wax, wax/resin or resin thermal transfer ribbons.  Each of these types of labels will print differently on different label stocks and provide varying levels of durability. Within these three general types of printer ribbons are specialty ribbons and colored ribbons design to meet certain application requirements like spot color, UV coding or even chemical resistant ribbons.
