Wax Ribbon:
Most widely used for shipping, distribution and product identification labels. Different formulations are available depending on specific requirements. Wax ribbons are formulated in general purpose and low melting point for high speed.
Wax/Resin Ribbons
For labels which require increased scratch and smudge resistance. When used in combination with synthetic label stock this ribbon will produce a label that is resistant to moisture and ultra-violet light. This type of label can stand up to exposure to rain, sun and cold.
Resin Ribbon
Most scratch and smudge resistant. Ideal for applications that require images to stand up to continuous use in factories and distribution centers. Certain formulations are steam press resistant and others are washable and dry-cleanable.
Kuanlang also offers color and metallic ribbons and specialty products for unusual applications, such as exposure to harsh environments. Our technical staff can work with you on special formulations for specific problems. When you purchase from Texpak you get the highest quality product at competitive prices.

Ribbon Categories/Wind Directions
You may notice when shopping for these ribbons that there are two categories: coated side out (CSO) and coated side in (CSI). This refers to where the ink coating is on the ribbons, affecting how they're wound and fed through the printer. Most printers can only take one style or the other. Before choose the TTR you should know if your printer suit for CSO or CSI.
