Nastro a trasferimento termico ARMOR APR6 / OUT — cera-resina, lunghezza 74 m, larghezza 110 mm

ARMOR APR6 / OUT is a wax-resin thermal transfer printer ribbon designed for durable label printing on a variety of media. With a printable width of 110 mm and a usable length of 74 m, this ribbon delivers sharp, consistent print quality and improved scratch and smudge resistance compared with standard wax ribbons. It is formulated for reliable performance on coated papers and synthetic substrates such as PE, PP and PET, and includes a protective backcoating to reduce wear on the printer head.

Advantages

The wax-resin formulation balances print sharpness and mechanical resistance, producing clear barcodes, text and graphics while offering enhanced durability against abrasion and light smudging. The ribbon’s consistent ink transfer ensures stable density across the entire 74 m length, and the robust backcoating protects the print head to extend maintenance intervals. Designed for both industrial and desktop thermal transfer printers that accept a 110 mm ribbon, it supports high-quality results on both paper and synthetic label stocks.

Suitable for

• Barcode and logistics labels requiring good scanability and durability
• Product identification labels on coated paper and synthetic materials (PE, PP, PET)
• Retail and packaging labels where improved scratch resistance is needed
• General-purpose industrial and desktop label printing with moderate resistance requirements

Key specifications

• Ribbon type: wax-resin thermal transfer
• Printable width: 110 mm
• Usable length: 74 m
• Media compatibility: coated papers and synthetic films (PE, PP, PET)
• Print characteristics: high barcode quality at 90°, good edge sharpness
• Mechanical properties: improved abrasion and smudge resistance compared with wax ribbons
• Protective backcoating to reduce print head wear

How to use

Install the ARMOR APR6 / OUT ribbon in a compatible thermal transfer printer following the printer manufacturer’s instructions for ribbon orientation and core fitting. Select thermal transfer mode and choose appropriate print settings—heat, speed and pressure—based on the label material: lower heat for standard coated papers and slightly higher heat for synthetic films to ensure proper ink transfer. Run a test print and, if necessary, fine-tune thermal settings to obtain optimal barcode contrast and edge definition. Replace the ribbon when the usable length is exhausted or when print density becomes uneven.

Recommendations

For best results, pair this ribbon with compatible coated or synthetic label materials (PE, PP, PET) and calibrate printer temperature and speed for the media in use. Regularly clean the print head and follow recommended maintenance to preserve print quality and extend print head life.
