Bsc Preferred THT134 Thermal Transfer Ribbon Sato 24-pack

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED THT134 is a thermal transfer ribbon designed for use with Sato thermal transfer label printers. It features a Printhead Saver formulation and an anti-static back coating, both engineered to extend printhead service life and reduce overall maintenance costs. The ribbon supports printing at lower temperatures and higher speeds, up to 12 inches per second (IPS), which lowers energy consumption and printhead wear. Output is dark and high-definition, rendering rotated and non-rotated barcodes, text, logos, and symbols with consistent clarity. Sold as a case of 24 ribbons. This SKU is intended for warehouse, distribution, and industrial labeling operations where throughput and print quality are both critical.

The THT134 ribbon is suited for industrial and commercial thermal transfer label printing environments. Primary compatibility is with Sato brand printers, though the ribbon is also noted for use with Zebra and Datamax brand thermal transfer printers. Typical applications include shipping labels, inventory tags, product identification labels, and barcode generation in warehouse, manufacturing, and logistics settings. The ribbon is durable and smudge resistant, making it appropriate for labels that must remain legible through handling and storage.
