Intermec EasyCoder E4 – User's Guide
Intermec offers three types of thermal transfer ribbons optimized
for different purposes:
• General Purpose (GP/TMX 1100. TMX 1500) transfer
ribbons allow high speed printing and give a good printout,
but are somewhat sensitive to smearing,They may be the best
choice for uncoated and coated papers.
• High Performance (HP/TMX 2500) transfer ribbons allow
high speed printing and give a highly readable and defi ned
printout on most face materials with smooth surfaces. They
have good "smear resistance" and are most suitable for
intricate logotypes and images on matte-coated papers and
synthetic face materials.
• High Resistance (HR/TMX 3200) transfer ribbons give an
extremely durable printout, which is resistant to most chemi-
cal agents and high temperatures. However, such transfer
ribbons set high demands on the receiving face material,
which must be very smooth, such as polyesters.
The use of HR/TMX 3200 ribbons requires the print speed
and the energy supplied by the printhead to be controlled
with great accuracy according to the receiving face material.
Custom-made setup options adapted for special applications
can also be created. Consult your distributor.
