A Wax Ribbon is a type of thermal transfer ribbon used in barcode printers to print text, graphics, and barcodes onto labels. It is the most commonly used and economical ribbon type, ideal for general-purpose labeling applications.
Wax ribbon is made primarily of wax-based ink coated onto a polyester film. During thermal transfer printing, heat from the printer’s printhead melts the wax ink and transfers it onto the label surface, creating clear and readable prints.
Wax ribbons are best suited for paper labels and are commonly used for short-term applications.
