Product Description
This near edge wax resin grade features improved printing quality, especially suited to printing on packaging film and when used for in line coding applications. It is compatible with all near edge head printers but especially effective on in line coding systems such as Videojet Dataflex, ICE and Markem Smartdate 2, 3 & 5. This grade offers bolder, blacker prints at speeds up to 24 inches per second, making it one of the highest speed coding ribbons in the market. An added feature is that this grade will print at the standard darkness setting for most coders, so no printer adjustment is necessary. This grade is an ideal alternative product to offer if other grades do not meet the printing or high speed demands of particular coding applications. Excellent print will be achieved on a wide range of uncoated and top coated packaging films. With ISEGA approval and manufactured to BRC global standards this grade is the ideal choice for in line coders used in food packaging applications.
