Overview

We slit ribbons to the exact width and core your printer takes, which matters because an oversized ribbon wears the printhead unevenly and an undersized one lets debris onto it. Grade is chosen against the facestock: there is no universal ribbon, and a wax ribbon on polyester will simply wipe off.

Key points

  • Slit to your exact width and core specification
  • Grade matched to your facestock, not sold generically
  • Ink-in and ink-out winding to suit the printer
  • Resin grades for solvent, steam and abrasion exposure
