Bsc Preferred THT118 Thermal Transfer Ribbon 12 Per Case

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED THT118 is a thermal transfer ribbon designed for use with Zebra, Sato, and Datamax brand thermal transfer label printers. The ribbon features a Printhead Saver coating and an anti-static back coating that work together to extend printhead service life and reduce wear over high-volume print cycles. It supports print speeds up to 12 inches per second (IPS) and allows printing at lower temperatures than standard ribbons, reducing energy consumption and printhead stress. The THT118 produces dark, high-definition barcodes, text, logos, and symbols in both rotated and non-rotated orientations. It is durable and smudge resistant once printed. Sold as a case of 12 ribbons.

The THT118 is suited for warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, and logistics environments where thermal transfer label printing is performed at high volume. Its high sensitivity and low-temperature printing capability make it a practical choice for operations looking to lower consumable costs without sacrificing print quality. The case quantity of 12 supports bulk stocking for facilities running continuous label print operations on compatible Zebra, Sato, or Datamax printers.

Installation Notes

Thermal transfer ribbons are installed by trained print technicians or equipment operators following the printer manufacturer loading procedure. Power down or place the printer offline before loading a new ribbon to avoid feed errors and potential printhead contact damage. Ensure the ribbon is loaded in the correct orientation for the specific printer model as specified in the printer service manual. Avoid touching the ribbon coating surface with bare hands, as oils can affect print quality and printhead performance.
