Thermal transfer ribbon Zebra 2300 Wax 110 mm x 300 m, Black

Zebra 2300 Wax 110 mm x 300 m is a black thermal transfer ribbon formulated for reliable printing on paper labels and tags. Compatible with many Zebra thermal transfer printers, this wax ribbon is designed to produce clear text and graphics on both coated and uncoated paper stock over a continuous 300 m length. Supplied in cartons of 12, it supports uninterrupted label production and straightforward replacement in busy print environments.

Advantages

The wax formulation delivers sharp, high-contrast printing for barcodes, text and simple graphics on paper materials while maintaining cost-efficiency for high-volume jobs. It provides consistent ribbon performance across the roll length, reliable ink transfer for legible output, and compatibility with a wide range of direct thermal transfer printheads used in Zebra printers. The product balances print quality and economy for routine labeling applications.

How to use

Install the ribbon in a compatible thermal transfer printer following the printer manufacturer’s loading procedure, ensuring correct ribbon orientation and tension. Select appropriate printhead temperature and speed settings for paper substrates to achieve optimal print density—start with manufacturer-recommended settings for wax ribbons and adjust as needed. Run a test print to confirm barcode readability and text clarity before committing to large print runs.

Usage recommendations

For best results on coated paper, use moderate printhead heat and standard print speed; for uncoated paper, slightly lower heat may reduce smudging. Store spare rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive dust to preserve ribbon performance. When printing barcodes for scanning, verify symbology and print contrast with a verifier if required for compliance.
