All it takes is just 6 seconds and you’ll be on your way to longer printhead life, more readable scans and peak image quality. What does this mean to you? IIMAK thermal transfer ribbons with Clean Start® creates BIG savings in your bottom line.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

For optimal print results, thermal transfer printing should occur in the temperature range of 41° F to 95° F at 45% to 85% relative humidity. Suggested storage conditions for up to one year duration are 23° F to 104° F at 20% to 85% relative humidity. Exposing IIMAK thermal transfer ribbons to direct sunlight or moisture will cause damage to the ribbons.
