Not all ribbons are the same. To get a good quality, long lasting printing on labels it is very important that you use the right ribbon. Some ribbons are made with a certain percentage of wax instead of resin in order to lower the cost of manufacturing. These ribbons work fine in some applications, but they do not resist water or chemicals and do not last as long. Our ribbons are 100% resin and made in the USA.
