Ribbons are necessary to POS applications. Printers require ribbon for it to produce printed receipts. The use of this ribbon is applicable to various retailing industries. Wax type is the least expensive of all thermal transfer ribbons. Since waxes have lower melting points than resin substances, printing can be done at lower heat settings or energy levels. As waxes are softer image durability is less against smudge, scratch, chemical and environmental resistance. So wax ribbons are suitable for printing on uncoated or matte coated surfaces. Wax ribbons can be used for general purpose labeling, shipping labels, address labels, garment tags, price tickets, warehouse applications, compliance label printing, including shelf and bin labels, retail tag and label applications.
