Brother Original Thermal Transfer Ribbon - Black delivers reliable, high-quality label printing for busy workspaces, warehouses, and retail environments. This 83 mm wide, 27-inch long wax-based ribbon is engineered to produce crisp text and bold barcodes across a broad range of label substrates while using low printhead energy to extend printer life. Packaged as a convenient 12-roll bundle, it keeps your labeling workflow running smoothly—from asset tags to shipping labels and product information—so you can count on clear readability from first label to the last. Trustworthy performance, strong edge definition, and durable results make this ribbon ideal for everyday labeling needs and heavy throughput environments.
- Crisp and durable images across substrates: The premium wax-based formulation delivers sharp text and bold barcodes with excellent edge definition, ensuring readability on coated and uncoated label stocks. This makes it versatile for inventory, asset tagging, shipping labels, and product information, even under handling and varying environmental conditions.
- Low printhead energy for longer printer life: By transferring images efficiently with reduced heat, the ribbon minimizes wear on the printhead and lowers maintenance costs and downtime, helping you maximize printer uptime in high-volume labeling workflows.
- Versatile across a broad range of label substrates: Designed to perform reliably on a wide spectrum of label materials—both coated and uncoated—so you can label diverse items without swapping ribbons or compromising quality between asset tags, shelves labels, and shipping documents.
- Vibrant black color for maximum readability: The deep black pigment provides high-contrast text and barcodes, boosting scan reliability in warehouses, stores, and environments with challenging lighting. Clear contrast helps prevent read errors and speeds up processing.
- Value-packed 12-roll configuration: A twelve-roll bundle minimizes interruptions and ensures steady throughput for ongoing labeling needs, large projects, or businesses seeking predictable costs and inventory planning.
