This wax/resin formulation prints deep black barcodes and other variable information that is easily read. It delivers excellent small character clarity and edge definition and is extremely resistant to scratching and smudging of the printed image. Plus, this product eliminates label retrack, which means no faint shadows transferred to the labelstock when feeding through the printer. Designed to print on a wide variety of receiving materials, including coated and uncoated paper labels and tags, varnished label stock, and flood-coat, this wax/resin formulation is an excellent choice for extreme applications.
