Under normal operating conditions, thermal transfer ribbons do not break. However, a label design with a large, concentrated area of ink can weaken the ribbon, leading to breakage. Keep this in mind when designing your label format.

Begin by setting both the speed and heat to half of your printer’s maximum range. 

  • If the print is too light – slowly increase the heat/decrease the speed.
  • If the print is too dark – decrease the heat/increase the speed.

The only difference is the length of the ribbon, as the film and manufacturing processes are identical. Sample rolls are between 50 and 100 meters, while full-size rolls meet the OEM specification for length.

All grades (wax, mid-range, and resin) contain both wax and resin components. The type of wax or resin determines a ribbon's performance characteristics rather than the ratio of each. DNP uses the highest quality ingredients to ensure precise melt points and premium performance.

The ink transfer temperature is not the temperature required to transfer ink to a label during printing, as commonly believed. Rather, it is the temperature at which a printed image will smudge. DNP provides the ink transfer temperature for each formulation on technical datasheets.

DNP thermal transfer ribbons are produced, manufactured, and processed in the United States. To ensure we offer a comprehensive product portfolio, specialty formulations are coated at our headquarters in Japan and imported to our Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania facility for finishing. 

DNP manufactures ribbons according to the printer OEM specifications for width and length. Ribbons outside their tolerances may be challenging to load or unload or cause problems during printing. DNP recommends following the OEM specifications and selecting a ribbon width equal to or slightly larger than the label.

Smearing or smudging typically signals a compatibility issue between the ink and the label material. While printer adjustments rarely resolve the problem, testing to identify the ideal ribbon and label combination often does. DNP's Application Lab can help! It's equipped with the industry's leading printers and a comprehensive inventory of label materials. Our experts are ready to recommend the perfect ribbon solution for your needs.
