Data Sheet

Thermal Transfer Ribbon

N 957 We

Resin
NE & FH

is a white resin quality that can be used on direct printing systems (TTO), near-edge as well as flat-head label printers. It is characterised by a very high resolution of even the smallest details. The quality is suitable for printing on films, both in the label sector, for type plates and for packaging films.
The ink layer is not very thick, the print is accordingly not very white (OD 0.57), but it is very well resolved and a relatively high printing speed can be achieved.
The mechanical resistance is very good - the print is smudge, scratch and erasure resistant and cannot be removed with adhesive tape. Resistance to chemicals is limited - really good only against diesel and engine oil.
The print withstands temperatures up to 150°C while wiping simultaneously.
The classic application for this white quality is direct printing on dark or transparent packaging films (TTO).

Product range

We manufacture thermal transfer ribbons of this quality to order in every possible dimension and design to measure!
For an optimal use of material and the best price, the jumbo roll width should be used completely. The minimum quantity for a made-to-measure order is 200m².
Net width of jumbo roll: 990 mm
