Thermal Transfer Ribbon

T 201 Ga

Wax
Flat-Head

is a wax-based thermal transfer ribbon in grey, which is particularly suitable for printing on paper and cardboard labels and tags. The T 201 Ga prints with good resolution especially on matt-coated TT papers, but also on vellum, on matt-, gloss- and cast-coated papers, as well as on the plastics made of PP and PE. It can be used on label printers with flat-head printheads.

In addition, the quality is very flexible with regard to different label materials and prints excellently over a wide temperature range.

The quality is popular for printing high-quality product labels in the field of packaging for electronic devices, industrial products, but also cosmetics and food – where you want to differentiate yourself by using grey type.

To hit and repeat a precisely defined grey shade with high accuracy is not easy when coating thermal transfer foils.

That is why we only offer this shade of grey in the wax range. The development of customised other grey tones is not possible.
