It is becoming more and more important for consumers to reduce their carbon footprint and make sure that printing processes are done in the most environmentally friendly way possible. This can be quite challenging when traditionally, thermal transfer ribbon manufacturing uses solvents during the coating process.
However, Armor Inkanto have developed the world’s first ribbon which is coated without using solvents, including for the backcoating – the AWR470. The innovative wax ribbon represents a saving of 365g of CO2 compared to the same ribbon (with average dimensions) produced with a traditional process for the backcoating. A benchmark product in its sector since its creation in 1986, AWR470 wax ribbons allow users to reduce their carbon footprint and take a more eco approach to their printing needs.
