AWX®500

- Good resistance to smudge
- Receptor multi-compatibility
- Excellent competitiveness smudge ratio
AWX®500 is a general purpose ribbon particularly adapted to standard label printing where good mechanical resistance is required.
The ink provides an excellent print quality of picket and ladder barcodes, very small text, large characters, and logos, at a blackness above 1.9 (ODR).
The ribbon structure allows printing on various receptors, such as coated and uncoated papers, and some up to 65 °C (149 °F).
Those characteristics remain at speeds up to 300 mm/s (12 ips), and with 200, 300 and 600 DPI printheads.
AWX®500 features outstanding backcoat technology ensuring excellent printhead protection, no clogging and prevents static build up.
