Data Sheet

Thermal Transfer Ribbon

N 492 Ge

Wax/Resin
Near-Edge

is a process ink that can be used in 4-colour printers, such as the TEC CB-416; but also in all other printers with near-edge print heads. It has a high resolution and allows to print even small letters and fine lines. It is very sensitive, allows a high printing speed of up to 300mm/s and is gentle on the print head. The near-edge process inks are flexible and can be used on a variety of materials, but deliver best results on paper label stock. It is also suitable for foils - but should be tested in the actual application. The print has limited smudge resistance, but otherwise does not have a particularly high resistance. The most important application for the process colours are printers with several print heads, which in combination with magenta, cyan and black allow 4-colour printing. Of course, the colours can also be used as single colours, e.g. to highlight information. It should be noted here that process yellow is not optimal as a sole print, as it is bright and texts are therefore difficult to read.
