Bixolon 110mm x 74M Thermal Transfer Wax Ribbon

Bixolon 110mm x 74M Ribbon

The Bixolon 110mm Wax Ribbon provides reliable thermal transfer printing for standard paper media. This ribbon utilizes a high-carbon ink formulation to ensure crisp edge definition on uncoated and matte coated substrates. It operates at lower print head temperatures compared to resin-based alternatives. This reduces thermal stress on the print head assembly. The 74-meter length matches the capacity of compact desktop thermal transfer printers. This specific width covers the full print area of standard 4-inch wide labels. It ensures the print head receives cooling across its entire surface during the transfer process.

Key Features

• Silicone-Based Backcoating
  A protective layer dissipates static electricity and reduces friction between the ribbon and the heating elements.

• Substrate Compatibility

  • Uncoated paper labels and tags
  • Matte coated paper stock
  • Vellum and shipping labels

• Optimized Ink Transfer
  The wax-based ink melts at low energy settings to preserve the operational lifespan of the hardware.

• Hardware Support

  • Standard 12.7mm (0.5 inch) core diameter
  • Notched core for secure spindle engagement
  • Ink-out winding configuration

The 110mm width prevents direct contact between the label edge and the print head. This practice extends the life of the thermal elements by providing a buffer. Using a ribbon wider than the media prevents abrasive label edges from scratching the print head surface. The 74-meter roll is specifically wound to fit desktop series printers without requiring external supply stands. Each roll includes a protective leader to facilitate easy loading without contaminating the ink layer. The ink remains stable under standard indoor lighting conditions. It resists smudging when handled immediately after output. This ribbon supports printing speeds up to 6 inches per second (ips) on compatible Bixolon hardware.
