Of course we also provide matching transfer films from us. The thermal transfer belt (also known as the carbon belt) is a “print film” placed between the thermal print head and the label material. It is offered in different materials and dimensions. Our specialists will be pleased to advise you on the right choice of the most suitable ribbons for your application.
Overview of the three main qualities:
Wax – thermal transfer films (contact-Micron):
(Flat Head / Near Edge)
Due to their optimal flow behavior, contact Micron films are ideal for printing very rough and matte material surfaces.
Especially in untreated paper, they achieve a high degree of blackness as well as a detailed reproduction of texts, barcodes and graphics with very little energy input.
Wax/Resin – thermal transfer films (contact-Prestige)
(Flat Head / Near Edge)
The universal contact Prestige tapes have been specially developed for printing high-resolution barcodes, texts and graphics. On most modern papers and films, they achieve excellent print quality with good smudge and scratch resistance. Thanks to their high achievable printing speed, too, they are real “all-rounders”.
Resin – thermal transfer films (contact-Extra):
(Flat Head / Near Edge)
Ideal for the printing of very smooth or glossy surfaces as well as on nameplates. Particularly where printing has to be extremely resistant and high resistance properties to external influences are required. These have high wipe and scratch resistance values. Partially heat resistant up to more than 200°C.
