Printer ribbon Zebra Wax 2300, 156 mm x 450 m, core Ø 25 mm (02300BK15645)

Zebra Wax 2300 printer ribbon, 156 mm x 450 m, is a thermal transfer wax ribbon formulated to deliver clear, legible text and barcodes on paper labels and selected synthetic media. Its 25 mm core diameter supports printers that accept standard narrow cores and enables long continuous runs for high-volume labeling tasks in retail, logistics and inventory operations. The wax formulation balances cost-efficiency with reliable print contrast for general-purpose labeling where abrasion and chemical resistance demands are moderate.

Advantages

The Zebra Wax 2300 ribbon provides consistent print density and sharp edge definition for text and barcodes on both coated and uncoated paper stocks. Its construction ensures dependable winding and minimal ribbon breakage during extended runs, reducing downtime. Compatibility with a wide range of thermal transfer printers and recommended label stocks makes it suitable for mixed-use environments. The wax composition delivers good print quality at an economical price point while preserving readability for standard scan and identification applications.

How to use

Install the ribbon in a compatible thermal transfer printer following the printer manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring correct orientation of the ink side toward the label material. Use label stocks recommended for wax ribbons and set printhead temperature and speed to match the media — lower heat and higher speed typically work well for wax formulations. Run a test print to verify density and barcode readability, then adjust printer settings as needed for optimal contrast and scannability.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine this ribbon with compatible label materials such as coated paper and the listed recommended stock types to achieve reliable barcode scanning and crisp text. Avoid applications requiring high abrasion, solvent or long-term outdoor exposure; consider resin or mixed resin-wax ribbons for those demanding conditions.
