Dynic DF322 DuraFlex Thermal Transfer Ribbon
DYNIC USA SIRIUS® DF322 DuraFlex: Print Durability and Substrate Flexibility in One General Purpose Ribbon
The DYNIC USA SIRIUS® DF322 DuraFlex thermal transfer ribbon is an economical answer to general purpose printing when you need the durability of a wax-resin but the flexibility of a wax. DuraFlex is its own band in Dynic’s SIRIUS line, sitting between the wax and wax-resin formulations: it prints durably across a wide range of substrates, so one ribbon can cover jobs that would otherwise call for several without compromising print quality. Like the rest of the SIRIUS line it carries Dynic’s proprietary backcoat, which protects the printhead and prevents static build-up, and it is cleared for both direct and indirect food contact.
Product Features and Benefits
DF322 DuraFlex is built to be the one ribbon on the shelf that handles the widest spread of everyday work.

-
Proprietary Dynic Backcoat: Protects the printhead and prevents static build-up.

Comprehensive Specifications
Dynic does not currently publish a DF322 spec sheet, so ribbon thickness, ink melting point and rated resistances are not listed above rather than being estimated. Contact Century Systems for those figures.
Conclusion
The DYNIC USA SIRIUS® DF322 DuraFlex thermal transfer ribbon consolidates a range of general purpose jobs into a single, economical ribbon. For operations running mixed substrates — coated and synthetic papers, BOPP, polypropylene and polyester synthetics, and PET films — DuraFlex delivers wax-resin durability without giving up the substrate flexibility of a wax, backed by Dynic’s printhead-protecting backcoat and food contact compliance.
