AXR^® 8 is dedicated to applications requiring a very good level of chemical and heat resistance in addition to a perfect printing quality and excellent mechanical resistances.
The ink provides excellent print quality of all types of barcodes, very small text, large characters and logos, at a blackness up to 1.8 (ODR).

The ribbon structure allows printing on many kinds of synthetics (PVC, PET, PE, PP) and on various matt and glossy coated papers.
The printed image offers an excellent smudge and scratch resistance, very good heat resistance, up to 250°C and very good resistance to various solvents.

Those characteristics remain at speeds up to 200 mm/s (8 ips) and with 200, 300 and 600 DPI printheads, making this ribbon perfectly adapted to the durable labelling market.
