Product Features
Technical Overview
This thermal transfer ribbon employs advanced wax/resin formulation to achieve precise, high-contrast prints on various media surfaces. The 2.99-inch (76 mm) width and 360.89-foot (110,000 mm) depth per roll provide extended printing capacity, reducing frequent changeovers and supporting high-volume workflows.
The ribbon's construction ensures smooth feeding and consistent ink transfer, maintaining print head health and minimizing downtime. Thermal transfer technology offers superior resistance to environmental factors compared to direct thermal methods, with prints that remain legible under sunlight exposure and handling.

FAQ
What printers is this TSC ribbon compatible with?
This TSC Auto ID ribbon (P140185-001) is designed as a direct alternative for Printronix 8550-SWR printers. It's also compatible with TSC Auto ID TC200, TC300, TC210, TC310, TE200, TE300, TTP-244CE, and TTP-245C printer models. The ribbon maintains original-grade specifications to ensure proper feeding and print quality across these thermal transfer printers.
How many rolls come in each carton and what are the dimensions?
Each carton contains 24 individual ribbon rolls. Each roll measures 2.99 inches (76 mm) in width and has a length of 360.89 feet (110,000 mm). This substantial length per roll combined with the 24-roll carton quantity provides extended printing capacity, reducing the frequency of ribbon changes and supporting high-volume printing operations.
What type of printing technology does this ribbon use?
This ribbon uses thermal transfer printing technology with a premium wax/resin formulation. Thermal transfer creates permanent prints by melting ink from the ribbon onto the label media, resulting in durable, high-contrast output that resists fading, smudging, and environmental exposure. This makes it suitable for applications where label longevity and readability are important.
