The Zebra 1600 Wax ribbon delivers high-quality printing on coated and uncoated paper labels with print speeds up to 10 inches per second. It provides excellent barcode clarity, smear and scratch resistance, good edge definition across a wide range of papers, and prints at lower temperatures than many competing ribbons. The ribbon features a 1:1 ink-to-ribbon ratio and is UL recognized and CSA component acceptable when used with Zebra-approved labels.
The Zebra 1600 Wax ribbon is designed for excellent performance on coated paper stocks and works reliably on uncoated papers as well. We recommend testing the ribbon on non-coated paper stocks before full deployment to ensure optimal print quality for your specific labeling application.
