Watershed Group manufactures and stocks a wide range of ribbons for use in direct thermal and thermal transfer printers. Our supply solution experts will help you choose the right material for your application. Available in a range of sizes & materials and are suitable for all common thermal transfer printers. We supply a range of resin, wax/resin and wax ribbons in all sizes and colours.

Resin is ideal for extreme conditions due to its unique resistance to most solvents including alcohol, oils, fats, etc. High durability ribbons for smooth surfaces especially synthetic films and special applications.

Wax/resin is a general-purpose ribbon, which contains some wax, thereby enabling it to be resistant to some solvents. Excellent print quality for all types of barcodes, very small text, large characters and logos. Good mechanical resistance. For use with paper and synthetic labels.

Wax ribbon is ideal as a low-cost solution for relatively rougher media surface printing. High contrast, limited resistance, suitable for all paper labels.
