Intermec offer three types of thermal transfer ribbons optimized for
different purposes.
General Purpose (GP/TMX1500)
General purpose transfer ribbons allow high speed printing and give a
good printout but are somewhat sensitive to smearing. These ribbons
are best suited for uncoated and coated papers.
High Performance (HP/TMX2200)
High performance transfer ribbons allow high speed printing and give
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/TMX3201/TMX3202)
High resistance transfer ribbons give an extremely durable printout
that 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, like polyesters.
Note: Intermec thermal transfer ribbons are engineered specifically for
the PF8 printheads.
