Wolfbarco W501

Wolfbarco W501 is our most economical wax thermal transfer printing solution while providing consistent performance on a wide variety of materials. Designed for barcode label and tag printing in the mainstream “sweet-spot” of 4–8 inches per second, the W501 provides high optical density, moderate image durability and allows printing at low print head energy heat settings on all popular thermal transfer printers. W501 is a “plug and play” formulation which can be dropped in at the same printer settings as most standard wax ribbons. W501 is a highly versatile ribbon providing reliable printing performance on coated and uncoated labels and tags, and vellum materials found in today’s global world of thermal transfer materials. Ideal for competitively priced applications such as shipping, product identification, distribution, logistics and retail. Our proprietary antistatic back coating formulation dissipates static electricity and works to protect and extend the life of your valuable printhead.
