Thermal transfer ribbon Toshiba AG2 102 mm x 600 m for Toshiba B-SX/B-372/B-472/B-572 series, black

Toshiba AG2 thermal transfer ribbon, 102 mm wide and 600 m long, is designed for use with Toshiba industrial and commercial printers including the B-SX and B-372/B-472/B-572 series. The black resin-enhanced wax formulation delivers clear, high-density text and barcodes while offering improved durability compared with plain wax ribbons. Its long roll length reduces media changes during extended print runs in logistics, retail and manufacturing environments.

Advantages

The resin-enhanced wax composition provides a balance between print quality and ribbon economy, offering excellent smudge resistance and superior print density for crisp text and scannable barcodes. Engineered for flat-head printers, the ribbon enables high-speed printing at lower operating temperatures and contributes to extended printhead life through enhanced printhead protection. The 102 mm width and 600 m length minimize roll changes and support continuous labeling tasks.

How to use

Install the ribbon on a compatible Toshiba flat-head thermal transfer printer following the printer manufacturer’s instructions for ribbon loading and threading.

Recommendations

For best results, use this ribbon with compatible label stocks and calibrate print darkness and speed according to label material—paper or synthetic. Store unopened ribbons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoid extreme temperatures and humidity to preserve print performance. Routine printhead cleaning is recommended to maintain print quality and prolong printhead life.
