Wax/resin - AG2
For corner / near-edge printers
The AG2 is a multi-purpose wax/resin product and is Toshiba’s most popular ribbon type
for near edge printers. Its highly versatile performance fulfills the needs of most standard
applications. It lays down a clear and sharp printed image on most label stocks, from uncoated
and glossy papers to synthetics. Withstanding heat up to 100ºC (212ºF) with a blackness of
1.6(ODR) the AG2 will give good levels of mechanical resistance and, as with all Toshiba ribbon
products, its superior back coating will prevent static build-up and clogging, and offer the very
best in printhead protection.
