Colour Ribbon – Silver

The COLORFULTTR Colour Ribbon – Silver is a premium resin-based thermal transfer ribbon engineered to deliver a striking metallic silver finish directly onto labels, combining visual appeal with industrial-grade functionality. Constructed on a robust PET base film measuring 4.5 ± 0.2 μm thick, with a precisely applied ink layer of 2.8 ± 0.2 μm, the ribbon achieves a total thickness of 7.3 ± 0.2 μm for consistent, reliable transfer. This silver ribbon is specifically formulated for thermal transfer printing and performs exceptionally well on substrates such as matte silver PET, making it a versatile choice for applications where both aesthetics and durability are non-negotiable.

Performance-wise, this resin ribbon is built to withstand demanding conditions. Its ink layer demonstrates strong adhesion, resisting fading or smudging even during continuous, high-volume printing runs, ensuring consistent output quality across every label. The formulation offers excellent wash resistance and heat resistance, allowing printed text and graphics to survive high-temperature washing and ironing cycles without losing clarity or legibility. With an optical density of 0.64 ± 0.1 and an ink melting point of 85°C, it delivers high-visibility silver printing that remains sharp and intact. Furthermore, the ribbon supports both flat head and edge head print heads, providing wide compatibility with major industrial printers and making it a dependable choice for demanding production environments.

This silver ribbon is ideally suited for electronic and electrical nameplates, automotive component identification, and corporate asset management, where its metallic texture adds a technological aesthetic while meeting extreme environment requirements. It is also a reliable solution for printing care labels in the apparel industry, ensuring functional information remains readable after repeated laundering. When selecting, confirm that your specific substrate and printer settings align with the ribbon’s specifications, particularly for edge head applications.
