Transfer Ribbons
Intermec offer three ranges of thermal transfer ribbons optimized for dif-
ferent purposes:
• General Purpose (GP/TMX 1500) transfer ribbons allow high
speed printing and give a good printout, but are somewhat sensitive
to smearing. They may be the best choice for uncoated and coated
papers.
• High Performance (HP/TMX 2200, TMX 2500) transfer ribbons
allow high speed printing and give a highly readable and defi ned
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/TMX 3200) transfer ribbons give an extremely
durable printout, which 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 polyes-
ters.
The use of HR/TMX 3200 ribbons requires the print speed and the
energy supplied by the printhead to be controlled with great accuracy
according to the receiving face material. Custom-made setup options
adapted for special applications can also be created. Consult your
Intermec distributor.
Note: Intermec thermal transfer ribbons are engineered specifi -
cally for the EasyCoder printheads.
