Matte Blue is a low-energy wax-resin ribbon delivering matte blue prints on paper, film, and satin. Exceptionally scratch-resistant.
product DescriptionMatte Blue SNM2900B is a low-energy wax-resin thermal transfer ribbon engineered for matte blue printing on paper, film, and satin. Its ultra-low energy requirement enables complete transfer at minimal printhead heat - reducing wear and extending printer life. The formulation delivers exceptional scratch and abrasion resistance, keeping prints legible through handling, stacking, and friction. However, SNM2900B is specifically designed for light to medium substrates and does not produce visible color on dark substrates (no white undercoat). Available in custom sizes and private label packaging.
product advantages
Extreme Scratch Resistance：The wax-resin formulation provides exceptional abrasion and scratch resistance. Prints stay legible through repeated handling, stacking, and friction - ideal for logistics, retail, and industrial environments where labels endure physical wear.
Multi-Substrate Compatibility：SNM2900B prints consistently on paper, film, and satin - three of the most common label substrates. One ribbon covers multiple materials, simplifying inventory and reducing changeover time. (Not suitable for dark substrates)

Perfectly matched products for your application scenarios
A chain bakery prints hundreds of labels daily for cake boxes, bread bags, and dessert packaging. Standard ribbons run hot - they often warp the thin film packaging, and labels become scratched and illegible after a few days in the refrigerated display case. SNM2900B's ultra-low energy won't damage film materials, while the matte blue looks clean and soft on white and light-colored packaging. Its exceptional scratch resistance ensures that production dates and prices stay readable through handling and display.
Apparel Hang Tags & Woven Labels
A mid-to-high-end apparel brand needs hang tags and woven labels for its new season collection - blue is their brand signature color. Their tag paper has a rough texture and the woven labels are soft - standard ribbons struggle with adhesion, and prints fade after folding and transport. SNM2900B provides strong adhesion on both paper and fabric, delivering consistent, premium matte blue that aligns perfectly with the brand aesthetic. Even after warehouse stacking and repeated in-store handling, brand logos and care information stay clear and intact.
