• Very high smudge resistance
• Very good printing quality
• Excellent receptor multi compatibility and sensitivity

AWX® FH is ARMOR’s new generation resin enhanced wax ribbon, particularly adapted to standard label printing where good mechanical resistance is required.
The ink provides excellent print quality of standard and ladder barcodes, very small text, large characters, and logos, at a blackness up to 2.0 (ODR).
The ribbon structure allows printing on various receptors, such as coated and uncoated papers and some synthetics.
The printed image offers improved smudge resistance compared to standard wax and heat resistance up to 100°C (212°F).

These characteristics remain at speeds up to 300 mm/s (12 ips) and with 200, 300 and 600 DPI printheads.
