Product Overview
The Colorfulttr Colour Ribbon – Gold is a premium resin-based thermal transfer ribbon engineered for demanding industrial labeling environments. Constructed on a durable PET base film with a thickness of 4.5 ± 0.2 μm and a stable resin ink layer measuring 2.8 ± 0.2 μm, the ribbon reaches a total thickness of 7.3 ± 0.2 μm. This specific build is designed to deliver crisp, high-visibility gold prints on both flat and edge printheads, making it a versatile choice for major industrial printers. The resin formulation ensures that every mark produced is sharp and consistent, serving as a reliable medium for high-volume printing tasks where clarity and durability are non-negotiable.
Performance-wise, this ribbon excels under harsh conditions thanks to its resin-based ink, which offers excellent wash resistance and heat resistance. It can withstand high-temperature washing and ironing cycles without losing legibility, ensuring that text and symbols remain intact after repeated laundering. The ink layer demonstrates strong adhesion, resisting fading or smudging even during continuous, high-volume production runs. With an optical density of 0.64 ± 0.1 and an ink melting point of 85°C, it delivers stable, consistent output quality that meets the rigorous demands of industrial-grade label printing, providing long-lasting clarity for applications that require color differentiation and emphasis.
This ribbon is particularly suited for textile care labels and garment washing instructions, where vivid gold printing enhances legibility and helps distinguish critical functional information. It is an ideal choice for the apparel industry and professional labeling applications that need reliable color coding. Before ordering, please confirm that your specific printer model and application requirements align with these specifications, as compatibility can vary. We invite you to request samples to test performance firsthand or discuss OEM support options with the Colorfulttr team to tailor a solution for your production needs.
