CODEXL - CXLR221 Wax-Resin

CXLR221 Wax-Resin

The new CXLR221 is a premium quality wax-resin developed to be one of the most versatile ribbons available on the market. Engineered to perform optimally at a wide range of energy settings making it easily interchangeable with other near-edge ribbons with little or no printer adjustment.

The CXLR221 produces dark, dense image onto a wide variety of label and tag stocks whilst being able to handle the demands of high speed printing—up to 300 mm/s (12 ips).

Using a specially formulated backcoat with anti-static technology provides extra printhead protection and easy handling.

Performance characteristics

  • Excellent print quality on a wide variety of label and tag stocks.
  • Specially formulated backcoat with anti-static technology for printhead protection and easy handling.
  • Edge Definition™ technology for dark, dense images leading to improved scan rates.
