This type of ribbons is the least expensive thermal transfer ribbon. A high percentage of wax based substance in the colorant, these ribbons are made with one single colorant layer. The melting point of wax is lower, therefore, printing can be done at lower heating settings. However, wax ribbons produce softer images, the durability is less against scratch, chemical or environmental resistance or smudge. Typically, wax ribbons are used for indoor applications where there is not much abrasion or physical contact. These labels are often used for general labeling, shipping labels, address labels, garment tags, price tickets, warehouse applications and label printing including retail tag and label applications.
