SATO SWR10-J-171600 Wax-Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbon 4.33" x 1476ft
The SATO SWR10-J-171600 is a T104G series wax-resin thermal transfer ribbon engineered for industrial and desktop label printing applications. Measuring 4.33" x 1476 feet with a 1" inner diameter core in coated side in (CSI) orientation, this ribbon delivers balanced print performance across diverse substrates while maintaining cost-effectiveness for high-volume operations.
Key Features
- T104G wax-resin formulation for balanced substrate compatibility
- 4.33" width x 1476 feet length for extended print runs
- Enhanced durability compared to standard wax ribbons
- Crisp, durable printing on coated paper and synthetic materials
- Moderate chemical and abrasion resistance
- 1" ID core, CSI winding orientation for proper installation
- 1 ribbon per case
Technical Specifications
- Material: Wax-Resin (T104G blend)
- Dimensions: 4.33" x 1476 feet
- Core: 1" inner diameter
- Winding: Coated Side In (CSI)
- Substrate Compatibility: Coated paper, polypropylene, polyethylene
Compatibility
The SWR10-J-171600 is fully compatible with SATO thermal transfer printers including the CL4NX Plus, CL6NX Plus, CT4-LX, and M84Pro models. The 4.33" width is optimized for standard label dimensions across these platforms.
Applications
The T104G wax-resin blend is ideal for applications requiring moderate chemical and abrasion resistance without the premium cost of full resin formulations. Common use cases include product labeling, shipping labels, barcode printing, and variable data applications on both coated paper and synthetic label stock.
The T104G wax-resin formulation represents an optimal balance point in thermal transfer ribbon technology. Unlike pure wax ribbons that offer lower cost but limited durability on synthetic substrates, or premium resin ribbons with higher per-unit costs, the wax-resin blend provides versatile performance for mixed-substrate environments. The extended 1476-foot ribbon length minimizes changeovers during production runs, reducing downtime and labor costs.
Organizations printing on both paper and polypropylene materials benefit from this formulation's consistent transfer quality across different substrate types. The CSI winding orientation ensures proper ribbon advancement and prevents common installation errors. For operations requiring occasional chemical exposure or moderate physical handling, this ribbon type delivers superior value compared to wax alternatives while avoiding unnecessary resin premium costs.
