Toshiba AG4 Wax / Resin

Toshiba AG4 Wax / Resin


The AG4 is a super premium wax/resin for edge and near-edge printers. Developed to fulfil applications requiring extra mechanical resistance but not warranting the use of a more costly full resin product.

It will withstand heat up to 110ºC (230ºF) and has a blackness of 1.6 ODR, equating to crisp black print. As with all Toshiba approved ribbon products, its superior back coating offers the very best in printhead protection.
