Zebra 06000GS06407 Ribbon

The Zebra 6000 Wax is a thermal transfer ribbon with a standard wax ink formulation designed for high-quality, durable bar code printing. It's ideal for inventory tracking, shipping and receiving, warehousing, retail labeling, and general-purpose labeling applications where print speeds up to 12 inches per second are required. We offer this ribbon as a cost-effective solution for high-speed printing needs in logistics and warehouse environments.

The Zebra 6000 Wax ribbon delivers superior print quality on both coated and uncoated labels, though we recommend testing for use on non-coated paper stocks before full deployment. The ribbon features high-density blackness and excellent durability, making it compatible with continuous or fanfold, die-cut, notched, tag stock, black mark, and perforated media. For optimum print quality and performance, Zebra recommends using genuine Zebra ribbons with compatible label stocks.

The Zebra 6000 Wax ribbon measures 64mm x 74mm (2.52" x 243') with a 12mm (0.5") core and comes packaged 48 rolls per box. The ribbon features a 4.5 micron polyester base film with a total caliper of 7.0 microns (±10%), ensuring consistent performance across print jobs. This configuration is available from us in multiple SKU variants to meet different operational requirements.

The Zebra 6000 Wax ribbon is specifically formulated for thermal transfer printing and is not suitable for direct thermal printers. Thermal transfer printing requires a compatible ribbon like this wax formulation to transfer ink onto the label media. If you need clarification on whether your specific Zebra printer model supports thermal transfer mode, contact us today and our team can verify compatibility.

The Zebra 6000 Wax ribbon produces bar codes with IR and visible light scanning capabilities, ensuring compatibility with standard barcode scanners used in warehouse and logistics environments. The high-density blackness of the wax formulation provides excellent contrast and readability for both infrared and visible light barcode readers. This makes it suitable for applications requiring reliable barcode capture across different scanning technologies.

When using the Zebra 6000 Wax ribbon for thermal transfer printing, the printer's operating temperature should be maintained between 40°F/5°C and 104°F/40°C for optimal performance. The ribbon itself can be stored at temperatures ranging from -40°F/-40°C to 140°F/60°C, with operating humidity between 20-85% non-condensing. For warehouse and logistics environments subject to temperature fluctuations, we recommend verifying your facility's climate control meets these specifications before deployment.
