FAQ
What Zebra printers is this ribbon compatible with?
This ribbon is compatible with multiple Zebra industrial label printers including the 105SL, 110XiIIIPlus, 140XiIIIPlus, 170XiIIIPlus, and various PAX3/PAX4 industrial print engines. It also works with RFID models like the R110XiIIIPlus, R170Xi, and R4MPlus. Always verify specific model compatibility before purchase.
What is the advantage of thermal transfer printing?
Thermal transfer printing creates permanent prints by melting wax resin from the ribbon onto the label material. This produces durable labels that resist fading from sunlight, moisture, and abrasion, making them ideal for industrial environments where labels must remain legible for extended periods.
How many ribbons come in each package?
Each carton contains six individual ribbons. This bulk packaging supports continuous operations with fewer replenishment orders and provides cost efficiency through volume purchasing for high-volume printing environments.
What does 'wax resin' mean for ribbon performance?
Wax resin refers to the ribbon's coating formulation that combines wax for smooth printing and resin for durability. This blend provides excellent adhesion to various label materials while maintaining print clarity and resistance to smudging or fading in demanding conditions.
