Wax/resin – WG3
For all your thermal transfer printers
For flat-head printers
WG3 is a wax/resin quality developed to complement the new generation of flat-head printers. An
extremely versatile product, it offers excellent print performance on a wide range of receiving materials.
It has high sensitivity and therefore runs at lower temperatures and higher speeds, with an excellent
blackness of 2.1 (ODR) and heat resistance up to 100 ºC (212 ºF).
This premium wax resin product is the perfect choice for the flexible packaging industry, and for printing
onto a wide range of label stock, from paper to synthetics. As with all Toshiba ribbon products, its superior
back coating offers the very best in printhead protection.
