Do I need a Wax Ribbon, Wax/Resin Ribbon, or a Resin Ribbon for my Zebra Printer?

Not sure what type of ribbon you need for your Zebra Printer?  Good Question!

Wax Ribbons - Wax Ribbons are ideal for printing on Paper Labels and Tags.  These ribbons are capable of printing dark barcodes and text at very high print speeds.  Our wax ribbons do have resin in them as well to offer a moderate amount of durability. 

Wax/Resin Ribbons - Wax/Resin Ribbons offer a step up in scratch resistance over Wax Ribbons.  These ribbons are ideal for glossy paper labels and Polypropylene BOPP labels.

Resin Ribbons - Resin Ribbons offer maximum abrasion resistance and are designed for sythetic label material such as Polyester.  These ribbons can also withstand some chemicals as well.
