Wax-Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbon for Barcode Labels — CL-Z200PLUS
CL-Z200PLUS is an economical black wax-resin thermal transfer ribbon for flat-head desktop or industrial barcode printers. Application examples include retail, warehousing, logistics labels and garment hangtags. Select it against your actual label material and printing requirements, within the stated speed of ≤8 ips (inches per second). Print quality and image durability may vary with the printer and print medium; the reported image tests used coated paper.

Product Overview
This economical wax-resin ribbon is intended for flat-head thermal transfer printing on desktop or industrial barcode printers. It is described as offering broad material adaptability, a low printing temperature and fine print detail. No numerical printer temperature setting is specified; the ink melting point is a material property, not a prescribed printer setting.
For material selection, the adaptability chart lists coated paper, carbon paper, hangtag cardstock and thermal transfer paper at 100%, synthetic paper at 80%, and colored coated paper at 60%. The percentages have no defined statistical method and must not be read as printing success rates or guaranteed compatibility. Print quality and image durability may differ between printers and print media.
The reported image characteristics were tested on coated paper: color density 2.0 using a standard-version spectrodensitometer; complete, clear 0.1mm fine lines and legible 4pt Chinese and English text; and 40 rubbing cycles using A4 paper with a 500g weight. These results describe the stated test conditions rather than every label construction or handling environment.
In the low-temperature test, the label print showed no change after 20 hours in a sealed cold chamber at -17℃, using coated paper. This does not establish a continuous service temperature or the cold performance of an entire label assembly. Store the ribbon at -5℃~40℃ and 20%~85% humidity, with ventilation, protected from light and away from heat sources; the stated shelf life is one year.
Core Advantages
Fine lines and small text on coated paper
Coated-paper test results report complete, clear 0.1mm fine lines and clearly legible 4pt Chinese and English text. Results may vary with the printer and print medium.
Rubbing result with a defined load
The reported rub resistance is 40 cycles using A4 paper and a 500g weight on coated-paper prints. Compare this test with the handling conditions your labels will encounter; it does not establish resistance to all abrasion conditions.
Defined cold-exposure result
The coated-paper label print showed no change after 20 hours in a sealed cold chamber at -17℃. The result is limited to that test and does not establish long-term low-temperature service performance.

Typical Applications
Retail, warehousing and logistics labels
These are listed application examples. Match the actual label medium to the material adaptability information and use a flat-head desktop or industrial barcode printer within the stated speed range. Print quality and durability vary with the printer and medium.
Garment hangtags and baggage tags
Garment hangtags and baggage tags are listed application examples. For small text and fine-line requirements, the reported 0.1mm and 4pt results provide a coated-paper reference; they do not guarantee the same result on every tag material.
Prepackaging, production lines and food-packaging labels
These uses appear in the application examples. They describe label-printing contexts and do not establish direct food-contact suitability or food-contact compliance.
Flower labels and fixed-asset labels
Flower labels and fixed-asset labels are listed application examples. Select against the actual print medium and required image durability; the application examples provide no additional outdoor, water or chemical resistance guarantee.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which printer type and speed are specified?
The specified printing method is flat-head, for desktop or industrial barcode printers, at ≤8 ips (inches per second). This is not a claim of compatibility with every printer model. Print quality and image durability may vary with the printer and print medium.
Do the material percentages guarantee successful printing?
No. The adaptability chart lists coated paper, carbon paper, hangtag cardstock and thermal transfer paper at 100%, synthetic paper at 80%, and colored coated paper at 60%. It does not define a statistical method or printing success rate. Use these values as material-selection references; results may vary with the printer and print medium.
What evidence supports small-text and rub-resistance requirements?
On coated paper, the reported results are complete, clear 0.1mm fine lines, clearly legible 4pt Chinese and English text, and 40 rubbing cycles using A4 paper with a 500g weight. These results apply to the stated tests; different printers, media and rubbing conditions may produce different results.
Does the -17℃ test establish continuous freezer use?
No. It reports no change in the coated-paper label print after 20 hours in a sealed cold chamber at -17℃. It does not establish continuous freezer service, a wider temperature range or the performance of the label adhesive and complete label assembly.
How should the ribbon be stored?
Store it at -5℃~40℃ and 20%~85% humidity, with ventilation, protected from light and away from heat sources. The stated shelf life is one year.
