Description

The AG2 wax-resin grade ribbon is one of the most versatile ribbons available for the Toshiba range of barcode label printers. It has been developed for the new generation of near-edge industrial printers.

High running speeds, with low temperatures, across a range of substrates provides consistent printing results whilst maximising head life.

Its highly versatile performance fulfils the needs of most standard applications. It will print clear and sharp images on most label stocks from uncoated and glossy papers to synthetics. With printhead warranties being a priority the AG2 ribbon is the ideal choice for many applications.

Withstanding heat up to 100° C and with a blackness of 1.6 ODR the AG2 will give good levels of mechanical resistance—no print damage after 200 runs on a Crockmeter test 680g/cm² load.

As with all Toshiba approved ribbon products, its superior back coating will prevent static build-up and clogging, offering the very best in printhead protection.
