Fast summary for CW812 Wash Care Resin Ribbon
Codewel announced the launch of CW812, a new premium wash-resistant resin thermal transfer ribbon engineered for exceptional media adaptability and high print sensitivity. CW812 delivers clear, durable prints on both dense wash labels and more porous woven tapes, and - in addition to conventional resistance to washing and dry-cleaning - offers enhanced sand-wash resistance for harsher, abrasion-prone applications.
What makes CW812 different
CW812 is a high-performance resin ribbon optimized for demanding textile and trim identification: outstanding media adaptability, high sensitivity, sand-wash resistance and superior wash fastness. Ideal for automotive interior labels, bags/luggage tags, apparel, and shoe tongues.
Exceptional media adaptability
prints cleanly on a wide range of substrates including nylon, satin and TPU, performing equally well on dense wash labels and sparse woven tapes.
High sensitivity
achieves strong print density at lower energy settings, enabling faster throughput and extended printhead life.
Sand-wash resistance
added abrasion durability protects label prints from sand and granular wear common in luggage, outdoor gear and certain industrial environments.
Superior wash fastness
repeatedly passes industry-level wash and dry-cleaning tests with no significant print degradation.
