What is thermal transfer ribbon?

Hot stamping ribbons are printer consumables, which are polyester or other high-density films coated with wax-based, resin-based or mixed ink on one side. Lubricant is applied to the side without ink to prevent the abrasion and damage of the print head. The cores of the carbon ribbon are usually of paper and plastic. The main requirements are that they cannot be deformed and cannot slide during printing. Common ribbons include wax base, wax tree mixed base, and resin base. At present, in our country, the commonly used ribbons are date-coded ribbon, infusion bag ribbon, resin ribbon for washing cloth, cable ribbon, barcode ribbon, wax-based ribbon, mixed-based ribbon, resin Base-ribbon and other types of models. Ribbons/ribbons of different materials and varieties are suitable for printing materials and printers. In the ribbon/ribbon thermal transfer technology, the performance of the printer is the most important.
