The TODAYTEC TDM200 Economical Wax/Resin Ribbon has been widely used for its enhanced scratch resistance and superior printing quality on a variety of substrates. Its low printing energy consumption can protect the printer’s print heads and effectively extend their service life. The TDM200 ensures enhanced detail, high sensitivity, and reliable performance in various labeling applications, from logistics and retail to pharmaceuticals and industrial uses.

Key Properties and Characteristics

The TDM200 ribbon is engineered for optimal print quality, efficiency, and enhanced durability.

Highlights:

  • Ribbon Thickness: 8.4 ± 0.3 µm.
  • Color: Black.
  • Melting Point: 73 ± 3°C.
  • Excellent Darkness: 2.13 ODR.
  • Sharpness: 85 / 100, with 100 / 100 for 0° barcodes and 75 / 100 for 90° barcodes; minimum printable character 4pt.
  • Enhanced Scratch Resistance: Slight exposure begins after approx. 210 cycles with a 680G weight load.
  • Enhanced Smudge Resistance: Slight exposure begins after approx. 130 cycles with a 680G weight load.
  • High Sensitivity: Ensures efficient and clear printing.
  • Low Printing Energy Consumption: Protects printheads and extends their lifespan.
