Good to know

This ribbon is designed for thermal transfer printing only and must be used with a compatible printer. The ink is coated on the outside of the ribbon (Ink Out), which is standard for most flat-head printers. For best results, ensure the ribbon width matches or exceeds the label width. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain print quality over time.
