Printer Ribbon Toshiba TEC SW1 110mm x 450m

The Toshiba TEC SW1 printer ribbon is a resin-enhanced wax thermal transfer ribbon designed for flat-head printers. It is 110 mm wide and 450 m long, supplied in black for clear, durable labels and text. The ribbon is compatible with a range of paper and synthetic media and is suitable for general labeling and barcode printing tasks.

Advantages

This resin-enhanced wax ribbon provides excellent smudge resistance and superior print density for sharp, legible output. It is formulated for high-speed printing even at relatively low curing temperatures and offers enhanced protection for the printhead, helping to prolong printhead life.

Suitable for

• Barcode labels on paper and coated paper
• Synthetic labels where moderate chemical and abrasion resistance is required
• General office, logistics and retail labeling
• High-speed thermal transfer printing environments

Когда может не подойти

The SW1 ribbon may not be suitable for applications requiring very high chemical or solvent resistance, such as long-term outdoor exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme abrasion. For heavy-duty industrial uses where maximum durability against solvents and heat is necessary, a full resin ribbon would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Ribbon type: resin-enhanced wax (thermal transfer)
• Width: 110 mm
• Length: 450 m
• Color: black
• Printer head compatibility: designed for flat-head thermal transfer printers

How to use

Install the ribbon in a compatible flat-head thermal transfer printer according to the printer manufacturer's instructions. Use with appropriate paper or synthetic label stock and set printer darkness and speed parameters to achieve optimal print density and smudge resistance. Regularly clean the printhead to maintain print quality and extend ribbon and printhead life.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm printer compatibility with flat-head thermal transfer ribbons and the 110 mm width.
• Assess required resistance to chemicals and abrasion for your labels to decide if resin-enhanced wax meets needs.
• Choose appropriate label media (paper or synthetic) for intended durability and appearance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the Toshiba TEC SW1 ribbon with clean printheads and label media matched to the ribbon’s properties; adjust printer speed and darkness to balance print density and ribbon consumption.
