Near-Edge Thermal Ribbons for High-Resolution Printing [Save 30%]

As a manufacturer of Near Edge (NE) ribbons, we operate at the forefront of precision coating technology, producing specialized consumables engineered explicitly for the demands of linear (edge) printhead systems. The manufacturing process for NE ribbons is exceptionally precise, requiring advanced coating heads to apply a ultra-uniform layer of high-performance resin-based ink onto a premium polyester film substrate. The tolerances for thickness and consistency are far stricter than for traditional flathead ribbons due to the intimate contact and different mechanics of the NE printing process. Our manufacturing includes proprietary slitting technology to achieve flawless, laser-straight edges on every roll, which is absolutely critical to prevent jamming and ensure smooth feeding through the printer. In-house research and development is continuously focused on creating new ink formulations that maximize the yield, print clarity, and durability characteristics that NE technology is renowned for, such as exceptional chemical resistance and abrasion resistance on synthetic labels. Rigorous quality control is embedded throughout production, with automated inspection systems monitoring coating uniformity and every finished roll undergoing testing to ensure compatibility and performance. We manufacture NE ribbons in a range of formulations to meet various application needs, from general-purpose printing to specialized marks capable of withstanding extreme environments.
