“How do I determine the correct ribbon for a specific application?”
The intended application drives ribbon selection. Thorough testing under operational conditions of the
ribbon and media that you have selected, is highly recommended in order to ensure the requirements of the
application are met. This precautionary procedure will not only confirm the validity of your ribbon and media
selections, but also assist in identifying any unanticipated production, handling, and usage difficulties before
they can affect the performance and effectiveness of your application. Testing of label adhesion, durability,
and resistance to expected environmental conditions before implementation will ensure effective and
economical system implementation.
“Why do Printronix ribbons sometimes cost more than other brands?”
Printronix thermal transfer ribbons use the latest advancements
in formulation and manufacturing to provide outstanding
performance at competitive price points.
Do not be fooled by comparing the price per roll of Printronix
Thermal Transfer ribbon with a competitive ribbon. Each
Printronix Thermal Transfer ribbon is longer, so you are
comparing more with less (625 meters Printronix Thermal
Transfer ribbons vs. shorter competitive ribbons).
The Thermal Transfer ribbon is designed to increase your
manufacturing productivity and reduce your operating costs.
The T5000r
and SL5000r
use the longest ribbon in the
industry for a standard bar code printer. You save money with
fewer ribbon changes. For example, if your current printer is
using a 450 meters ribbon you will reduce ribbon changing
labour costs of 28%! In addition, your printer will have more
'up time'. The labour cost reduction is even greater (42%) if
you are currently using a 360 meters ribbon.
That is only part of the story. The best way to compare basic
ribbon cost is to calculate the ribbon cost per square meter (m
2
).
