Diversified Products provides three basic formulas of thermal transfer ribbons, wax, wax/resin and premium resin. We also carry near edge and color ribbons for special applications.

General Purpose Wax  Ribbons

The most economical choice for general purpose tag and labeling applications including shipping, warehousing, retail, textile, and apparel. Choose a wax ribbon when printing on uncoated and coated paper tag and label stocks, and low end film labels like Kimdura®.

Premium Wax/ Resin  Ribbons

The right choice when a higher level of scratch and smear and/or mild chemical resistance is needed in labeling applications including shelf and bin labels, textile, apparel, nursery, and lumber. Premium wax/resin ribbons print well on coated paper tag and label stocks, low end films, and some polyester labels.

Super Premium Resin  Ribbons

For harsh environment labeling applications where resistance to extreme abrasion, heat, and/or chemicals is imperative. Applications include nursery and lumber tags, chemical drum labels, pharmaceutical and medical labeling, outdoor labeling, automotive and industrial work-in-process labeling. Super premium resin ribbons are compatible with higher end synthetic films like polyester and polyimide (Kapton®).

Near Edge  Ribbons

Specifically designed to run on thermal transfer printers with near edge printheads like the TEC B-X® and Novexx® series of printers.
