Tips on using ribbons more effectively and sustainably

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ink ribbons vary and don’t suit all label materials.
Many people don’t realise the importance of getting a good match between the ribbons and labels they use. If you don’t get it right, your labels will look faint or too black, print will rub off and you could be in line for an expensive surprise when your printhead burns out months or years before it should. If you work with chemicals, the print can disappear if splashed by chemical solvents.

ALS Identify can help, use our tips below or get in touch with your query:

• Get sample ribbons and print them through your printer, then try scratching off the print
• If you’re using them with chemicals, try rubbing the text off with the chemicals
• Try adjusting the printer darkness setting. Set it as low as possible to get an acceptable temperature.
• As a rule of thumb, wax ribbons can be printed at the lowest temperature or darkness setting, whilst a pure resin ribbon needs a high temperature or darkness setting.

We can send ribbon samples or alternatively we can visit your site to support you further.

 

Ribbon Save: More sustainable and cost efficient identification

 

Labels often get printed with only a small amount of information, such as expiration dates, barcodes or other variable data. In common printing methods such as thermal transfer printing, the ribbon and label material pass the printing process at the same time so ribbon consumption is the same as the label material, resulting in using excess ribbon. However when using the Ribbon Save function it ensures that only as much ribbon as necessary gets used, saving you both ribbon and money.
Our XPA 93X Print & Apply and many of our Label Printers have the Ribbon Save function.

Free registration to attend the event here.

Looking for new ways for your business and supply chains to become more sustainable? You won’t want to miss this.

Join us at Stand K13 to see our Eco Linerless 400 Series labelling system in operation.

The ALS team will be on site to demonstrate this fully automated product labelling system which uses continuous labels without carrier material; so no liner backing waste to dispose of. Rolls contain 50% more labels; less stops to change rolls means you get extended running times. Reduced storage space and weight during transport saves costs and minimises CO² emissions. Good news for your sustainability targets.

Contact us to book a scheduled demonstration with Q&A at the expo or simply drop in to us at our Stand K13.
We will also have a range of our other labelling systems on display, including Botlr, the innovative bottle labelling machine.
