Thermal Transfer Ribbons
TTRRTM Series thermal transfer ribbons pass rigorous testing to meet IDENTCO’s rigid performance standards. The critical bond between the ribbon and the material topcoat ensures lasting legend permanence. IDENTCO offers a complete series of thermal transfer ribbons for a full range of durable label applications.
We have a full selection of ribbon/label material combinations with UL/cUL/CSA approval. For more information see our UL MH16225/MH16873 and CSA 089882 files.
