Appendix F
A thermal transfer printer can only deliver appropriate results if the right combination of
material and ribbon is chosen. Crucial factors are label material, surface condition, type of
ribbon (resin/wax mix), application criteria (resistance to smearing, scratching and
chemicals), Printer speed and temperature.
The following table contains notes on adjustment of ribbons that are available via
HellermannTyton dealers:
Ribbon
TTDTHOUT
TT932DOUT
TTRW
TT822OUT8
If the printer pre-sets and the recommended ribbons are used, no manual settings are
necessary.
