Thermal Transfer Ribbon

ecoNe N 102 Sw

Wax
Near-Edge

proves to be a very black and high-contrast wax quality for near-edge label printers. It is very sensitive and requires little energy. Thanks to its high flexibility, it can be used for coated papers as well as foils. As a wax quality with a relatively thick ink layer, its print has limited smudge resistance.

This quality is particularly suitable for product labelling, shipping and logistics labels with standard durability.
