Bsc Preferred THT117 Thermal Transfer Ribbon 12 Per Case

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED THT117 is a thermal transfer ribbon engineered for use with thermal transfer label printers. It features a Printhead Saver coating and an anti-static back coating that work together to extend printhead service life. The ribbon's formulation allows printing at lower temperatures and faster speeds, reducing printhead wear and overall energy consumption. Print output is dark and high-definition, supporting rotated and non-rotated barcodes, text, logos, and symbols. The THT117 prints at speeds up to 12 inches per second (IPS). Each case contains 12 ribbons. Licensed technicians and print operations staff handling label printer maintenance and supply replenishment are the primary installers and users.

The THT117 is suited for warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, and shipping environments where barcode label printing is a daily operation. It is designed for use with Zebra, Sato, and Datamax brand thermal transfer printers. The ribbon is durable and smudge resistant, making it appropriate for high-volume print runs where label legibility and scan reliability are critical. Its high sensitivity allows operation at reduced print temperatures, which is particularly useful in facilities looking to lower consumable costs over time.

Installation Notes

Thermal transfer ribbons should be loaded by qualified print room or maintenance personnel following the printer manufacturer's ribbon loading procedure. Power down the printer before accessing the printhead or ribbon mechanism to avoid static discharge damage. Handle the ribbon by the edges to avoid contaminating the coating surface. Inspect the printhead for debris before installing a new ribbon to protect both the printhead and print quality.
