W160 is DNPs toughest resin enhanced wax ribbon. W160 offers the best in durability and print density with an economic value greater than most standard wax / resin ribbons on the market. W160 prints at high speeds with increased print sensitivity resulting in low energy settings for Printhead protection. We recommend W160 for wax applications that require the highest performance and greatest value from a wax ribbon.

Recommended Applications

General LabelingGeneral labeling includes applications that require minimal durability and usually need to be cost effective. Wax ribbons are commonly promoted for these applications.

Shipping and Receiving LabelingA streamlined shipping and receiving process relies heavily on the tracking ability provided by bar codes. Thermal transfer bar codes have higher durability than most bar code printing technologies and can insure greater safety of the traveling data both in the beginning and at the end.

Logistic LabelingBar coding for logistical purposes is helpful and time saving. Tracking product lines helps insure quality both inside a manufacturing facility and after point of sale.

Inventory LabelingInventory bar codes-responsible for the efficiency revolution in the manufacturing and distribution process-typically contain useful information about quantities and descriptions of a companys inventory or stock quantities. Inventory labeling requires a durable bar code that has good abrasion resistance and longevity.

Retail LabelingBar code labeling is an essential application for the retail industry. The need to bar code goods for sale originally propelled thermal transfer technology into the information age. Bar coding goods for sale enables retailers to streamline inventory tracking and check-out times. A ribbon with good durability is required for applications of this nature.

Flexible Package LabelingPrinting bar codes on flexible packages is normally an integrated part of the assembly line process. The thermal transfer printer is part of the assembly machine and prints directly onto the substrate typically a bag or some other type of container. A good example of this application is the printing of bar codes for pre-packaged hardware components like nuts bolts screws etc. Wax ribbons are commonly used in this application and do not have to be specially designed for this operation.

Pharmacuetical LabelingBar coding has become a necessity for many industries including the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. Tracking the manufacturing of a specific drug is critical for the supplier and the consumer. It is important for a pharmaceutical company to control and regulate the inventory of a specific drug as well as for the local pharmacy to control the consumer supply of that drug.

Shelf LabelingThis application is very useful for the retail industry and differs greatly from the Retail labeling application. Shelf labeling helps retail owners track the placement of their consumer goods throughout the aisles and shelves of the sales floor.

Horiculture LabelingOften used in greenhouses and during point of sale transactions this type of bar coding is helpful for tracking plants and trees from the suppliers to resellers to end users. This process requires an extremely durable ribbon that can withstand weather elements.

Textile LabelingBar code labeling is commonly used in the textile industry for recording important manufacture information on items such as garments and carpet rolls. A durable ribbon is needed for this application.
