Nastro Toshiba TEC AG2 112 mm x 600 m

The Toshiba TEC AG2 is a resin-enhanced wax thermal transfer ribbon for near-edge and flat-head printers. Designed for general-purpose label printing, the AG2 lays down clear, sharp black prints on a wide range of label stocks — from uncoated and glossy papers to many synthetic materials. The ribbon measures 112 mm in width and 600 m in length, and is supplied in black (MPN: BX760112AG2, EAN: 5711045687525).

Advantages

The AG2 ribbon combines wax ease-of-printing with added resin durability to deliver excellent smudge resistance and superior print density (blackness ODR ~1.6). It withstands temperatures up to 100 °C (212 °F), provides good mechanical resistance on finished labels, supports high-speed printing at lower heat settings, and includes Toshiba’s back coating to reduce static, prevent clogging and protect the printhead.

Suitable for

• Thermal transfer printing of standard paper labels (uncoated and glossy)
• Printing on many synthetic label materials
• Applications requiring smudge-resistant black text and barcodes
• High-speed printing where low heat settings are preferred

How to use

Install the ribbon in a compatible thermal transfer printer (flat-head or near-edge model). Thread the ribbon according to the printer manufacturer’s instructions, align the ribbon and label roll, and set the printer parameters for ribbon type (wax/resin), media type, print speed and printhead temperature. Adjust heat and speed to achieve optimal print density and durability for your specific label stock.

Recommendations

For best results, test-print on the actual label material and adjust temperature and speed to balance print quality and ribbon consumption. Use the AG2 ribbon when moderate chemical and abrasion resistance is required; for extreme durability requirements, consider a full-resin ribbon.
