Bsc Preferred THT169 Thermal Transfer Ribbon Case of 24

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED THT169 is a thermal transfer ribbon sold in a case of 24 rolls, designed for use with Datamax and Zebra brand thermal transfer label printers. The ribbon features a Printhead Saver formulation and an anti-static back coating that reduces wear on thermal printheads over time. It is engineered to perform at lower print temperatures and faster print speeds, which lowers printhead operating costs and reduces overall energy consumption per print cycle. The THT169 delivers high-definition image quality across a wide variety of label stocks and offers strong resistance to smearing, scratching, and weather exposure.

This ribbon is suited for commercial and industrial labeling applications where reliable barcode and text print quality is required. Typical environments include warehouse operations, distribution centers, manufacturing floors, and shipping departments that run Datamax or Zebra thermal transfer printers. The case quantity of 24 rolls supports high-volume print operations. The THT169 is an equivalent replacement for part number S-11323, making it a direct drop-in for operations already stocked on that ribbon.

Installation Notes

Thermal transfer ribbons are loaded by trained press or printer operators following the printer manufacturer's ribbon loading procedure. Power down the printer before accessing the ribbon compartment to avoid printhead damage. Ensure the ribbon is seated correctly against the printhead and that the ribbon type matches the printer's thermal transfer setting before resuming operation. Mismatched ribbon and label stock combinations can reduce print quality and accelerate printhead wear.
