Thermal ribbons are a crucial part of the thermal label printing process. Thermal transfer labels and ribbons can be used in compatible desktop and industrial printers.
Thermal ribbon made with wax is the most common type of thermal transfer ribbon. Due to its durability, full-wax thermal ribbons are typically used on coated and uncoated paper stock. It is the least expensive and is the optimal choice for short-term use.
We offer wax ribbons in coated side out (CSO) and coated side in (CSI). A way to determine whether you need CSO or CSI is based upon the brand of the printer you are using. For example, all Zebra Printers use CSO ribbons, while all Datamax and Sato Printers use CSI ribbons.
Another quick way to determine which ribbon you are using is by sticking a label to the outside of your ribbon roll. If ink sticks to the label that means you are using a coated side out (CSO) ribbon and if nothing appears on the label you are using a coated side in (CSI) ribbon.
If you are still unsure, we have a "compatible printers" section on every product page of our website. Please look for your printer make and model there.
