Ribbon Web
Note: In Direct Thermal applications, the ribbon web is not required.
The ribbon is routed from the ribbon supply mandrel, through the
printhead to the ribbon
waste mandrel. This forms the ribbon web.
Ribbon Supply Mandrel (Black disc)
The ribbon supply mandrel (with black disc) holds the ribbon, that is
pre-coated with ink. During printing, the ribbon is supplied to the thermal
printhead where the
ink is applied onto the labels.
