Thermal Ribbon Zebra 2100 60mm x 450m

The Zebra 2100 Wax Thermal Ribbon (60 mm x 450 m) is a thermal transfer ribbon formulated for reliable, high-quality printing of bar codes and text on coated and uncoated labels and tags. Designed for compatibility with a range of Zebra printers such as 105SL, 110PAX4 and ZM600, this black ribbon delivers clear, durable images while requiring low printhead energy, which supports high-speed printing up to 12 inches per second.

Advantages

The wax formulation produces excellent print quality for both normal and rotated bar codes and text. Low printhead energy requirements reduce wear and allow consistent transfer at high print speeds. The 450 m length and 60 mm width provide extended runtime between ribbon changes, and the standard 2.5 cm core fits common Zebra printer spindles.

Suitable for

• Printing standard and rotated bar codes on coated labels
• Printing on uncoated labels and paper tags
• High-speed label production where low printhead energy is preferred
• General-purpose black text and barcode printing in logistics and retail
