DNP R300 Resin Barcode Ribbon is a general-purpose resin ribbon manufactured by DNP (Dai Nippon Printing), designed for flat-head thermal transfer barcode printers.
R300 stands out for its excellent adhesion to a wider range of label materials than other ribbons in its category, high printing speed, and lower printhead energy consumption compared to conventional resin ribbons.
R300 offers broad compatibility with various label materials and high-speed printing capabilities, making it one of the most versatile and flexible general-purpose resin ribbons in its category.
R300’s extensive label adaptability and high print speed capability make it the most diverse resin of its kind. It outperforms the competition in abrasion and solvent resistance, uses less print energy and is designed with DNP’s standard anti-static and backcoat properties to protect and extend the life of printheads.
And, like all DNP ribbons, R300 is an industry leader in edge definition producing dark, dense images for improved scan rates.
