DNP Signature Series Wax-Resin Thermal Ribbon
DNP Signature Series Wax-Resin: Smudge-Resistant Durability for Paper and Synthetic Labels
DNP’s Signature Series Wax-Resin steps up from wax where labels need to survive more handling. It prints on paper and low-end synthetic tags and labels, producing smudge-resistant images with DNP’s edge definition for dark, dense barcodes and improved scan rates. DNP’s proprietary static-dissipating technology keeps the ribbon easy to run and low maintenance, making this a practical mid-range choice for automotive, pharmaceutical, retail, compliance and inventory and logistics labeling.
