Resin

Resin ribbons contain the highest percentage of resin materials. Printing with resin ribbons is done at high energy levels or heat settings as resins have a high melting point. Low print speed can be achieved due to the high energy levels required for printing. But the resultant printing images bear a very high resistance to chemicals, heat, abrasion resistance and other environmental conditions. Resin ribbons are best suited for use with textile apparel or garment labels like (satin), high gloss coated materials like polyesters, polyolefin, destructible vinyl, warranty void labels, labels which are to be exposed to harsh environments like chemical drum labels, medical and pharmaceutical labeling, as well as industrial and automotive applications. Resin ribbons are the most expensive of thermal transfer ribbons.
