Toshiba approved print ribbons

Our ribbons are exclusively designed under our reliable brand, with stringent tests to ensure only the best possible performance gains approval.

Toshiba ribbons are manufactured in various grades to suit differing business requirements:

• Wax | Our range of wax ribbons are designed to meet the varied and demanding labelling standards. The premium grade wax is the versatile choice that will print onto a wide range of label stocks to provide clear, sharp printed images of text and barcodes.
• Resin enhanced wax | Offering excellent print density with superior smudge resistance, this premium choice offers unparalleled print head protection – more than 10 times the industry standard. This quality is ideal for swing tags, tickets and all general label printing.
• Wax resin | The ideal solution for all retail labelling, apparel, swing tags, outdoor applications or any print job that needs a good level of quality printed information. Toshiba wax resin formulations will withstand weather extremes making them perfect for garden centres or builder’s yards.
• Premium wax resin | Our premium wax resin qualities offer the same levels of printing excellence as our standard wax resin, but with added smudge, mechanical and solvent resistance. Ideal for pharmaceutical and manufacturing label printing.
• Resin | Our standard resin qualities are PE, PE and PET compatible, designed to cover all harsh environmental conditions and applications. Certified to UL and BS5609 standards they are used in chemical, pharmaceutical, automotive and electrical industries offering high levels of resistance to heat, solvents, scratching, smudging and some detergents.
• Premium resin | These premium qualities can offer extra resistance to heat (the printed image will withstand temperatures up to 250ºC), solvents, and other harsh chemicals. As with all Toshiba ribbon qualities, the back coating will offer exceptional print head protection.

Compatible products a false economy

There will undoubtedly be cheaper compatible products, in the marketplace. In printing, inferior quality consumables cost more in the longer term wearing down and causing damage to the printhead, ultimately increasing the downtime of the printer itself.

Toshiba branded consumables are designed to work in conjunction with the range of label printing products we manufacture. With years and years of development behind our products, our ribbons provide the best possible results while minimising damage to the printhead. This maximises the life of Toshiba printers and lowers the overall cost of ownership of the product.

Toshiba ribbons are the recommended choice. Genuine products can be easily identified by the red Toshiba logo on the leader.
