Transfer Ribbons
Intermec offer three types of thermal transfer ribbons optimized
for different purposes:
General Purpose (GP/TMX1500)
General purpose transfer ribbons allow high speed printing and
give a good printout, but are somewhat sensitive to smearing.
These are best suited choice for uncoated and coated papers.
High Performance (HP/TMX2200)
High performance transfer ribbons allow high speed printing and
gives a highly readable and defined printout on most face
materials with smooth surfaces. They have good “smear
resistance” and are most suitable for intricate logotypes and
images on matte coated papers and synthetic face materials.
High Resistance (HR/TMX3201/TMX3202)
High resistance transfer ribbons give an extremely durable
printout that is resistant to most chemical agents and high
temperatures. However, such transfer ribbons set high demands
on the receiving face material, which must be very smooth, such
as polyesters.
Note: Intermec thermal transfer ribbons are engineered
specifically for the PF8 printheads.
