Data Sheet

Thermal Transfer Ribbon

T 514 Si

Resin
Flat-Head

Is an alternative to mirror silver hot stamping foils. This thermal transfer ribbon prints on almost all label materials! It achieves an excellent result on coated and high-gloss papers and foils (PE, PP, PET) that have a suitable top coat. On uncoated paper the result is a matt silver shimmering print. The quality has a high sensitivity, is gentle on the print head and can be processed at speeds of over 200 mm/s.
It is suitable for all flat-head printers - but not for near-edge printing systems.
Coating-wise, it is a resin grade whose focus is on universal use on numerous materials rather than high resistance. The print has limited smudge and erasure resistance. In the area of chemical resistance, good resistance to engine oil and brake fluid and medium resistance to diesel and alcohol should be mentioned.
The main applications are graphically demanding labels for food, spirits, perfume etc. where the effect is that of a "silver embossing" - but produced purely digitally without the need for complex embossing tools! The quality is also suitable as an alternative to white for high-contrast printing on dark and transparent materials.

Character

This metallic, silver-printing thermal transfer ribbon can be used universally on numerous materials. The durability of the printout meets the requirements in the field of high-quality product labels: wiping, erasing and peeling with adhesive tape, cleaning with alcohol and contact with oil are easily withstood by the print. The print withstands temperatures up to 140°C.

Shelf life and storage conditions

In principle termal transfer ribbons have a long shelf live. We guarantee that, if stored correctly ( temperature: 5 - 35 °C, relative humidity: 30 - 80 % ) our ribbons remain in perfect condition for use for 1 year from delivery.

Test methods

Our thermal transfer ribbons are tested according to CALOR | REGMA testing procedures.
We are happy to supply details upon request.
