Thermal transfer ribbon Zebra 3200 Wax/Resin, 110 mm x 300 m, black, core Ø 25 mm

Zebra 3200 Wax/Resin thermal transfer ribbon, 110 mm × 300 m in black, is designed for general-purpose barcode and label printing where improved durability is required compared with standard wax ribbons. This premium wax/resin formulation delivers high print contrast and crisp barcodes on a broad range of paper and synthetic label stocks. The ribbon is supplied wound on a 25 mm core and is compatible with printers using thermal transfer technology, including Zebra 2746e models.

Advantages

The wax/resin composition balances print quality and durability: it produces sharp text and barcode edges while providing increased resistance to scratching, smearing and everyday chemicals. It supports higher printing speeds (up to 250 mm/s) without loss of print density and is recognised for use with multiple Zebra label materials. The 110 mm width and 300 m length offer a practical roll size that reduces roll changes for medium-volume printing environments.

Suitable for

• Printing variable barcodes and text labels on paper and synthetic tags
• Applications requiring moderate abrasion and chemical resistance
• Shipping, inventory, asset tagging and product identification labels
• Medium-volume label production where reduced downtime is desired

How to use

Replace the ribbon roll when the ink donor runs out or print quality degrades.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair this wax/resin ribbon with Zebra-recommended label materials and set print speed and temperature according to the label substrate. Store unopened ribbons away from direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve print performance.
