Special UV thermal transfer ribbon

This UV ink thermal transfer ribbon is designed to print security labels with variable data (barcode, name, logo...) in order to identify your goods discreetly and anticipate the risks of loss or theft.

A UV ink ribbon for optimal security labels

These special UV ink ribbons are suitable for thermal transfer printers, designed to provide optimum performance and quality label printing. The ribbons are systematically tested and maintain the longevity of the printhead. 

You can print sensitive information, text or logos in UV for invisible identification.

These will be uniquely accurate so that they can be easily read with a UV lamp. In addition, these thermal transfer ribbons are universal, and are perfectly suited to different label materials: paper, synthetic paper, glossy paper, coated polyethylene.

UV ink is highly resistant to scratching and smudging. The ink is transparent in natural light and yellow under UV light. It is therefore important to avoid storing it in sunlight and electric light, as this can affect the quality of the ink.

Resin is ideal for use in harsh environments due to its unique resistance to many solvents such as alcohol, oils, greases, etc. while maintaining its label printing quality.

It is also possible to protect each thermal transfer label with our transparent protectors, in order to optimise their life span and to enjoy the best possible label printing.

Note that the resin leaves a shiny effect and not transparent on the matte labels as shown on the photo.

The ribbons are sold in boxes with multiple rolls, and the quantity varies based on their size:

• 40mm x 300m: 20 rolls
• 55mm x 150m: 16 rolls
• 110mm x 150m: 8 rolls
• 160mm x 450m: 10 rolls
• 110mm x 250m: 8 rolls
• 110mm x 300m: 8 rolls

The thermal transfer ink ribbon also works with all thermal transfer label printers, including the SATO and CAB brands we offer. Most label manufacturers use them as well.
