In thermal transfer printing, the printer, ribbon, and substrate work together as a printing system. The technology is simple and works by melting ink from the heat transfer tape strip onto the collector/substrate. Thermal transfer printing is reliable and low maintenance, and can be applied in a wide range of on-demand printing applications. The IIMAK thermal transfer ribbon is the only ribbon with Clean Start® feature, the patented printhead cleaning tool built into the ribbon.
The thermal transfer ribbon from IIMAK has a Clean Start® feature that generates clear, crisp barcodes and text
Clean Start® Ribbons save you time and money
That's right. CleanStart® is a proprietary printhead cleaning tool built right into your heat transfer ribbon and available for free. Exclusive to IIMAK, Clean Start® is an innovative printhead cleaning tool built right into the beginning of the ribbon. Simply drag Clean Start® over the locked printhead when starting a new ribbon. Doing so removes debris before it builds up on the print head, ensuring images, text, and barcodes are printed out crisp and clear. All it takes is 6 seconds, and you'll get longer print head life, easier scans, and the highest image quality. What does this mean for you? IIMAK heat transfer ribbons with CleanStart® create HUGE savings on your bottom line.
