Transfer Ribbons - Intermec EasyCoder 601 XP Installation And Operation Manual

Transfer Ribbons

Important!
The use of any thermal transfer
ribbons, other than those
supplied by Intermec, will invali-
date the printhead warranty. In-
termec thermal transfer ribbons
are engineered specifically for
the EasyCoder printheads.

Intermec offer three types of thermal transfer ribbons optimised for
different purposes:
• General Purpose (GP)/Standard transfer ribbons allow high
speed printing and gives a good printout, but are somewhat
sensitive to smearing. They may be the best choice for uncoated
and coated papers.
• High Performance (HP)/Premium transfer ribbons allow high
speed printing and gives a highly readable and defined 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)/Super Premium transfer ribbons give an
extremely durable printout, which is resistant to most chemical
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/Super Premium 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 Intermec distributor.
