The SATO SR05-T-5990 is a thermal transfer ribbon measuring 2.32 inches wide by 295 feet long (59mm x 90m) with a 0.5-inch core. This R333A resin ribbon comes in cases of 24 rolls and is designed for use with SATO thermal printers, offering reliable performance for high-volume barcode and label printing applications.
What type of ribbon is the SATO SR05-T-5990 and when should I use it?
The SATO SR05-T-5990 is a resin thermal transfer ribbon, which provides superior durability and chemical resistance compared to wax alternatives. Resin ribbons are ideal for applications requiring long-lasting labels in harsh environments, including exposure to oils, solvents, and extreme temperatures. We offer both wax and resin options to match your specific printing needs.

How many labels can I print with one roll of the SATO SR05-T-5990?
Each roll contains 295 feet of ribbon, which allows you to print thousands of labels depending on your label width and print density. The actual number of labels varies based on your label size and thermal printer settings, so we recommend testing with your specific application or contacting our team for detailed yield estimates.
What's the difference between wax and resin thermal transfer ribbons?
Wax ribbons offer cost-effective printing for standard paper labels in controlled environments, while resin ribbons provide superior durability and resistance to oils, chemicals, and moisture—making them ideal for warehouse, logistics, and industrial applications. We offer both wax and resin thermal transfer ribbons for SATO printers, so you can choose based on your label durability requirements and budget.
