Choosing the correct ribbon can be critical in some instances, as combining the wrong ribbon with a label can lead to inferior printing and in some cases an image that will simply wipe off the label. Here is a very basic guide to help you chose the right ribbon: -

Ribbon Types

Wax Ribbon = Medium Quality

Wax Resin Ribbon = High Quality

Resin Ribbon = Best Quality

As a rough guide, the more resin - the more scuff resistance and less likelihood of smudging.

Label Types

Wax Ribbon = General labels

Wax Resin Ribbon = Semi-gloss & varnished labels

Resin Ribbon = High-gloss & varnished labels
