What is a wax-based ribbon

A type of wax-based carbon ribbon carbon ribbon, because it uses wax as the main material for the carbon ribbon products. Because the melting point of wax is lower than that of resin, the energy level required for printing with wax-based ribbons is much lower than that with mixed-based and resin-based printing. Wax-based ribbons are the most economical and inexpensive ribbons. They are mainly used for printing on general paper. When using wax-based ribbons, it is necessary to pay attention to the matching with paper. Wax-based ribbons are used for materials with slightly uneven surface texture. It is not suitable for products with smooth surface like mirror, such as PET material.

The characteristics of wax-based ribbons: wide label adaptability and good versatility. Excellent printing effect and economical cost. High temperature resistance, suitable for high-speed printing.
