Thermal transfer ribbon Zebra 4800 Resin 220 mm x 450 m, black, core Ø 25 mm

Thermal transfer ribbon Zebra 4800 Resin 220 mm x 450 m in black is a resin-based printing ribbon designed for thermal transfer printers. The ribbon provides durable, high-contrast prints and sharp edge definition on synthetic materials and coated papers. With a 220 mm printable width, 450 m length and a 25 mm core diameter, it is intended for medium- to long-run label and tag production in logistics, manufacturing and asset identification where abrasion and chemical resistance are required.

Advantages

The resin formulation delivers outstanding abrasion and solvent resistance on a wide range of synthetic substrates and coated papers while producing consistent, high-quality barcodes and text. Its construction supports long print runs with minimal roll changes and stable winding on a 25 mm core. The ribbon is UL-Recognized and CSA Component Acceptable for normal use when paired with compatible labels, ensuring compliance with common industrial safety standards.

Suitable for

• Durable product and asset labels on synthetic materials
• Barcode and serial number printing in manufacturing
• Shipping, logistics and warehouse identification tags
• Coated paper labels requiring high edge definition

Key specifications

• Ribbon type: resin
• Color: black
• Width: 220 mm
• Length: 450 m
• Core diameter: 25 mm
• Performance: high abrasion and solvent resistance on synthetics and coated papers
• Compatibility: designed for thermal transfer printers (use with appropriate label media)

How to use

Install the ribbon in a compatible thermal transfer printer following the printer manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the ink side faces the printhead. Align the 25 mm core to the printer spindles and thread the ribbon so it advances smoothly across the printhead and onto the take-up core. Configure printer settings for resin ribbon and select appropriate printhead temperature and speed for the chosen substrate to achieve optimal print density and edge sharpness.

Recommendations

For maximum durability, pair this resin ribbon with compatible synthetic label materials and coated papers. Test print settings on sample labels to fine-tune temperature and speed: higher temperature can improve adhesion on some synthetics, while slower speed can enhance print quality on textured surfaces. Store unused ribbons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve print performance.
