What is wax ink?

Wax barcode printing ink is a type of printing ink whose main material is wax. Wax usually has the property of easily melting at low temperatures.

Unique characteristics of wax ink:

With the main structure of wax-wax and a very small part of resin, the majority of wax makes the wax ribbon only need a low amount of heat, “light fire” is enough to melt the ink, which is enough to melt the ink. This is very beneficial for the longevity of the printer because it will help protect the print head better at temperatures that are not too high when working with wax ink.

However, because the ink structure is mainly soft wax, the adhesion is not high and as a result, the print will have average print quality.

Price of wax ink: It can be affirmed that this is the most economical type of printing ink, bringing high economic efficiency.

What is Wax resin ink

Wax resin barcode printing ink ribbons are thermal transfer types made with a combination of wax and resin-based components.

Among all Thermal Transfer ink ribbons, wax resin ribbons are the most versatile in terms of use as they satisfy a wide variety of barcode label printing needs in the logistics, manufacturing or distribution sector.

What is Resin

With the main ingredient being Resin, this is resin ink ribbon that produces the best printing quality, providing printed labels with maximum durability, with the highest level of abrasion resistance, heat, steam and various chemicals.

Does not fade in water, dissolves slowly in solvents.

Applications on industrial materials that require long-term storage or under harsh environmental conditions such as printing on fabric bags, machinery, frozen product labels, inventory control labels Frequently shipped goods labels, hang tags and pharmaceutical labels.
