Bsc Preferred THT171 Thermal Transfer Ribbon 24-pack

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED THT171 is a thermal transfer ribbon engineered for use with Datamax and Zebra brand thermal printers. It features a Printhead Saver formulation along with an anti-static back coating, both designed to extend printhead service life and reduce replacement frequency. The ribbon's performance characteristics allow printing at lower temperatures and faster speeds compared to standard ribbons, which translates to lower energy consumption and reduced printhead wear over time. High-definition image output is achieved even at reduced print temperatures, making the THT171 a reliable choice for high-volume label operations. Each case contains 24 ribbons.

The THT171 is suited for commercial and industrial labeling environments where consistent, legible print quality is required across a wide variety of label stocks. Typical applications include warehouse operations, distribution centers, manufacturing lines, and logistics facilities that rely on barcode and thermal transfer label printing. Its weather-resistant output makes it appropriate for labels that will be exposed to outdoor or variable-environment conditions after printing. The ribbon is sold in cases of 24 units.

Installation Notes

Thermal transfer ribbons are installed and replaced by trained print technicians or equipment operators following the printer manufacturer's ribbon-loading procedure. Power down or place the printer offline before opening the ribbon compartment. Ensure the ribbon is loaded with the correct ink-side orientation as specified by the printer manufacturer to avoid blank or smeared output. Dispose of used ribbon cores according to local waste handling guidelines.
