Thermal transfer ribbons are also called TTO ribbons, which are consumables for TTO printers. It is a polyester film coated with mixed base, advanced mixed base or resin-based ink on one side, and lubricant is applied on the side without ink to prevent the abrasion of the print head. The ink on the TTO ribbon is printed on the TTO coding machine Under the action of the heat and pressure of the head, the corresponding text, barcode, picture and other information are transferred to the soft film or label.
What are the components of the thermal transfer ribbon product?
Ink layer: is the most important, used to print and determine the characteristics of the ribbon, such as anti-chemical corrosion and anti-friction.
PET film: It is the carrier of other layers and determines the performance of heat transfer.
Back coating: Simply put, it is a special coating applied on the back of the ribbon. Its main function is to reduce the wear of the print head; reduce static electricity generation and strengthen heat conduction.
