Resin ribbon

Designed for shop-floor, warehouse and retail environments, balancing print quality, system integration and long-term cost.
This is the general purpose resin, and the formulation is aimed squarely at solvent resistance. In the manufacturer data, alcohol, machine oil and 95 octane petrol all score 95, while 0 degree barcodes and 2D codes score 100 at 2.0 ODR black density. The message is simple: if labels meet oil or solvents, this is the ribbon.
Wax and hybrid print wipes off with alcohol and smears after a soak in oil. A resin ink layer survives both, keeping barcodes readable after wiping and immersion. Automotive parts, chemical drums and electronic components are on resin for exactly this reason.
The substrate matrix covers PE, PP, PET, PVC and PI films, plus nylon taffeta, polyester satin ribbon and polyester fibre taffeta. Kraft paper and gloss coated paper are rated as solid matches; matt coated paper and garment tags are hollow, which says those two are not its strength.
A 2 to 12 ips window is wide for a resin. The low end suits small characters and dense 2D codes, the high end handles volume label runs. The resolution figures come from a Zebra 105SL at 4 in/s, and the 8 to 30 mil band describes bar widths that will reproduce cleanly.
PET and PVC labels are the standard pairing for it, and they take alcohol wiping and oil immersion without trouble. PI film tolerates high temperature, so it works on PI for electronic components that pass through reflow. Nylon taffeta and polyester satin are listed too, but for care label work the economy and standard care label grades are the better match.
Store at 5 to 35 degrees C and 20 to 80 percent relative humidity, away from direct sunlight and damp. That window is narrower than for wax grades; resin ribbons are more sensitive to heat and humidity, so check warehouse conditions.
The ribbon prints reliably at low ambient temperature without extra heating, which matters on winter shop floors.
