Thermal Transfer Ribbon

Brillant+ T 154 Sw

Wax
Flat-Head

combines excellent printing properties on all label materials with good mechanical resistance. The smallest details, such as letters in small font sizes, fine lines, graphics and barcodes, are printed in outstanding quality. The print is rich in contrast and very even and homogeneous on larger areas – and this on vellum, coated and high-gloss papers. But also films made of PE and PP, with or without top coat, can be printed in excellent quality.

The sensitivity is high, printing is possible even at low energies and, in addition, the high quality of the print result can be achieved over a very wide temperature range – this wax+ quality can therefore be used very flexibly and is tolerant for different printers, settings and materials.

The resistance of the print to mechanical stress is high for a wax quality. After 1000 cycles of wiping on the Crockmeter, our standard EAN code is still perfectly legible with ANSI grade B.

A backcoating that has been tested over billions of running metres, together with the high sensitivity, guarantees a long service life for the print heads.
If your customers want to print high-quality labels on a wide range of materials with good durability, this grade is a good choice. As a very tolerant grade, it can replace many other wax grades without changing printer settings.

And most importantly: It offers an excellent Price/Performance ratio.

Character

This is a wax quality with a relatively high resin content. As a result, the resistance of the print to mechanical stress – for a wax quality – is high. After 1000 cycles of wiping on the Crockmeter, our standard EAN code is still perfectly legible with ANSI grade B.

Shelf life and storage conditions

"In principle termal transfer ribbons have a long shelf live. We guarantee that, if stored correctly ( temperature: 5 - 35 °C, relative humidity: 30 - 80 % ) our ribbons remain in perfect condition for use for 1 year from delivery."

Test methods

"Our thermal transfer ribbons are tested according to CALOR | REGMA testing procedures. We are happy to supply details upon request."

Quality management ISO 9001 : 2015
