CL-Z908PLUS Wax Thermal Transfer Ribbon for Paper Labels
An economical black wax thermal transfer ribbon for flat-head printing of paper labels in retail, warehousing, logistics, simple packaging and production lines, with garment hangtags also listed as an application. The recommended printing speed is ≤8 inches per second (ips) on desktop or industrial barcode printers. Select it against your actual label material and printer: the material adaptability chart lists lower values for cardstock and hangtags, and print quality and image durability may vary with the printer and print medium.

Product Overview
This economical wax thermal transfer ribbon produces black printed images and is described as offering low printing temperature and fast printing. It uses a polyester film base and is intended for flat-head printing on desktop or industrial barcode printers at ≤8 ips. The ink melting point is 65℃; this is a material property, not a specified printer temperature setting.
Choose the ribbon with the label face material in mind. The material adaptability chart lists mirror-coated/semi-gloss paper, carbon paper, colored coated paper and thermal transfer paper at 100%, while cardstock and hangtags are listed at 20%. These are the chart's material adaptability values; no calculation method is supplied, so they should not be treated as print success rates, coverage percentages or guarantees of print quality.
The printed-image data were obtained on coated paper: color density is 1.9, abrasion resistance is 30 cycles using A4 paper and a 500g weight, and the label print showed no change after 20 hours in a sealed cold chamber at -17℃. These results apply to the stated test conditions and do not establish long-term cold resistance or durability on other media. Print quality and image durability may vary with the printer and print medium.
For purchasing, confirm the actual label material, flat-head printing method and planned printing speed. Ribbon width, length, core size and winding direction are not specified in the available product data and require confirmation for the intended printer. Store at -5℃~40℃ and 20%~85% humidity in a ventilated place, protected from light and away from heat sources. The stated shelf life is one year.
Core Advantages
Economical wax formulation
A black wax ribbon described as offering low printing temperature and fast printing for the stated label applications. No numeric printer temperature setting is specified.
Flat-head printing
The specified printing method is flat-head, with a recommended speed of ≤8 ips on desktop or industrial barcode printers. Print quality and image durability may vary with the printer and print medium.
Abrasion data with defined test conditions
The stated abrasion resistance is 30 cycles using A4 paper and a 500g weight, tested on coated paper. This result should be evaluated against the handling conditions of the intended label application.
Defined low-temperature exposure result
Label print on coated paper showed no change after 20 hours in a sealed cold chamber at -17℃. This specific test does not establish a continuous operating temperature range.

Typical Applications
Retail paper labels
For retail label printing, select against the actual paper surface and confirm print quality with the intended printer. The material chart distinguishes paper types rather than establishing universal media compatibility.
Warehousing and logistics labels
Warehousing and logistics transport are listed applications. Check the actual label material, flat-head printer and planned speed against the ≤8 ips recommendation; durability may vary with the printer and medium.
Garment hangtags
Garment hangtags are listed as an application, but hangtag adaptability is shown as 20%. Confirm performance on the actual hangtag before selecting the ribbon for that job.
Simple packaging and production lines
Simple packaging and production lines are listed uses. Evaluate the printed label under its actual handling conditions; the available abrasion data apply to coated paper tested with A4 paper and a 500g weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
What printer type and printing speed are specified?
The specified method is flat-head printing, with a recommended printing speed of ≤8 inches per second on desktop or industrial barcode printers. This does not establish compatibility with every printer model. Print quality and image durability may vary with the printer and print medium.
How should I use the material adaptability percentages when choosing labels?
The chart lists mirror-coated/semi-gloss paper, carbon paper, colored coated paper and thermal transfer paper at 100%, and cardstock and hangtags at 20%. The calculation method is not supplied, so these figures are not print success rates or quality guarantees. Confirm the result on your actual label material, particularly for cardstock and hangtags.
Does the low-temperature test establish suitability for long-term frozen storage?
No. The stated result is no change in label print on coated paper after 20 hours in a sealed cold chamber at -17℃. It does not establish long-term frozen-storage performance or the same result on other media; assess those conditions separately for your application.
Should the printer temperature be set to the 65℃ ink melting point?
The 65℃ figure is the ink melting point, not a specified printer temperature setting. The product description states low printing temperature but provides no numeric printer setting. Confirm the printing result with the intended printer and print medium.
How should unused ribbon be stored?
Store at -5℃~40℃ and 20%~85% humidity in a ventilated place, protected from light and away from heat sources. The stated shelf life is one year.
