A Legacy of Performance and Reliability
In the fast-paced world of printing technology, products frequently come and go. That is why DNP proudly celebrates a remarkable milestone: the 25th anniversary of V4085plus, our versatile resin-enhanced wax thermal transfer ribbon.
DNP introduced the ribbon in 2000 as TR4085plus, and it quickly became the industry standard for wax formulations. In 2023, we rebranded it as part of the Versatility Series, but its core promise remains unchanged: consistent, high-quality performance that customers trust.
What Makes V4085plus Different?
We engineered V4085plus with a high concentration of Carnauba wax to ensure smooth, uniform melting and efficient ink transfer. This design delivers crisp image clarity, sharp edge definition, and strong abrasion resistance. Whether printing barcodes, text, or variable data, V4085plus produces reliable results across a wide range of substrates.
The ribbon also features our proprietary Smoothcoat® backcoat, which provides anti-static protection and reduces friction. This feature protects the printhead, extends equipment life, and minimizes downtime, which is critical in high-volume printing environments.
A Quarter Century of Trust
Over the past 25 years, distributors, converters, and end-users across industries have trusted V4085plus. Its reputation for dependability and performance has made it one of the most widely adopted wax ribbons in the thermal transfer market.
"In an industry where products often come and go, V4085plus has remained a constant," said Mark Bjerkestrand, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at DNP. "Its longevity reflects our commitment to quality and to the customers who have relied on it for more than two decades.
Honoring the People Behind the Product
As we celebrate this anniversary, we remain committed to innovation and product development, ensuring we meet the evolving needs of thermal transfer printing. Here's to the next 25 years of excellence with V4085plus.
