Wolfbarco W701

Wolfbarco W701 is a premium, high performance flat-head resin ribbon which expands the boundaries of traditional resin formulations, in terms of print speed and image sensitivity. W701 is a capable of high-speed printing, up to 10 ips, allowing significant improvements to labeling productivity and the use in high speed print/apply applications. The low energy characteristics of this ribbon allow users to reduce their print head heat levels, extending the life and reducing the costs of print head ownership and making the W701 ideally suited for the rapidly growing desktop printer market, where print head energy management can be more limited. The increased image sensitivity of the W701 provides outstanding print quality onto a wide variety of materials, including newer value-priced films, providing an overall lower cost of ownership for the end-user.
