DNP R316 Specialty Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbon
(DNP R316 Ribbons)

DNP R316 ribbon is unique in the industry — the best resin ribbon for printing on paper and synthetic paper substrates. It is also able to withstand environmental temperatures of up to 220°C (428°F) making it perfect for applications like heat tunnel passage. DNP R316 Resin Ribbon uses remarkably low print energy settings while producing high quality heat resistant bar codes. This ribbon's design incorporates DNP's standard anti-static and back coat properties that protect the print head, and also prints with DNP's unmatched Edge Definition™ — producing clean, extremely durable, dense bar codes every time.
