Ribbons
Exclusively designed for cab printers

 cab thermal transfer ribbons

Different requirements are placed on labels. A shipping label may only need to be identifiable for a few days. The typeplate of a washing machine, on the other hand, has a life cycle.
Can the label get wet or is it only needed under dry conditions? Should the label withstand mechanical or thermal stress?

All these factors can now be represented with a simple, clear system, the cab transfer ribbon range: three wax qualities, three resin-wax qualities and three resin qualities that meet 99% of all requirements.

Wax transfer ribbons

Wax ribbons scale

Rough or smooth paper labels for short-term applications in shipping and logistics.

Wax ribbons have a small amount of resin to optimize smudge resistance and moisture resistance. The cab W11 thermal transfer ribbon has a very low resin content. This makes it very cost effective. If you want to print on smooth paper (coated), you should choose between W71 and W91, as they already deliver more smudge-resistant results when graded upwards.

Technical data:   W11   |   W71   |   W91

Wax/resin transfer ribbons

Mix ribbon scale

Labels made of paper or synthetic material for mid-range applications in goods transport, foodstuffs or the laboratory and medical sectors.

Resin-wax ribbons offer a mix of both worlds and are often the sensible alternative in the medium price segment. The resin content of the M11 is in the lower third and makes it interesting for more upscale paper labels. Excellent results can already be achieved with the M91 on synthetic label materials. When using different label surfaces, the M71 can prove to be a suitable "hybrid transfer film" with an optimum price/performance ratio.

Technical data:   M11   |   M71   |   M91

Resin transfer ribbons

Resin ribbon scale

Synthetic material labels for long-term applications in the chemical, electronics and automotive industries.

Resin ribbons are designed for printed images with the highest stress. Here, too, cab offers three qualities. These are also graded in ascending order and the R91 thus offers the highest durability, very high smear and scratch resistance as well as resistance to solvents. Resin ribbons can achieve particularly durable printing results, especially on very smooth label surfaces. The best printing results can be achieved when printing on labels made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET).
