Value Collection THT164 Thermal Transfer Ribbon 4.33in Black

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION THT164 is a wax-resin thermal transfer ribbon designed for use with thermal transfer label printers. Measuring 4.33 inches wide and 1,476 feet long, this ribbon delivers consistent ink laydown across a full roll cycle. The wax-resin formulation sits between pure wax and full resin in durability, offering improved smear resistance and edge definition compared to wax-only ribbons while remaining cost-effective for moderate-volume labeling applications. It prints in black and suits a range of industrial and commercial label printing environments. The roll weighs approximately 1.09 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This ribbon is used with thermal transfer label printers that accept a 4.33-inch-wide ribbon format. It is suited for facilities, warehouse, and light industrial labeling tasks where durable print quality on transfer labels is required. The wax-resin compound performs well on coated and semi-coated label stocks, making it a practical choice for barcode labels, shipping labels, and asset tags in operations that process moderate daily label volumes.

Compatibility

Designed for use with thermal transfer label printers that accept transfer labels and a 4.33-inch-wide ribbon. Confirm core size and ribbon winding direction against your specific printer model before installation.

Installation Notes

Ribbon installation is typically performed by the equipment operator or a printer technician. Power down or pause the printer before loading a new ribbon to avoid print head contact errors. Verify that ribbon width matches the print head width of the target printer, and confirm the ribbon winding direction matches the printer manufacturer specification. Mismatched winding direction is a common cause of print defects and ribbon breakage.
