ITW Thermal Transfer Ribbons have proprietary features specifically designed to extend the life of thermal printheads. In our research and development laboratories, We create formulations that call for the lowest printhead energy requirements in the market. Combining low energy usage with our unique anti-static back coating process produces the most printhead frienldly ribbons in the industry. Our ribbons' performance characteristics allow printing at lower temperatures and faster speeds which result in reduced printhead costs and lower overall energy usage.
