Armor thermotransferlinten Inkanto was AWR 8

For high-volume labelling environments where every scan must read perfectly the first time, the ARMOR Inkanto AWR 8 wax ribbon delivers crisp, dark prints on coated and uncoated paper stocks. Unlike generic wax ribbons that fade or smudge under handling, AWR 8 is engineered for sharp barcode definition and reliable edge contrast, even at print speeds up to 300 mm/s. This 110 mm × 300 m roll fits 1-inch cores and winds ink-out, making it a drop-in consumable for most flat-head thermal transfer printers.

Highlights

• Premium wax formulation for high-density black output on paper, vellum, and tag materials
• Excellent smudge and scratch resistance keeps labels legible through sorting, shipping, and storage
• Supports high-speed printing up to 300 mm/s (12 ips) without sacrificing print quality
• Compatible with a wide range of flat-head thermal transfer printers from Zebra, Toshiba, Brother, and more
• RoHS, REACH, and halogen-free certified for safer workplace and environmental compliance

In daily use

This ribbon is built for logistics, distribution, retail, and inventory operations where label durability and scan accuracy are non-negotiable. The AWR 8 wax chemistry transfers cleanly to rough and smooth paper surfaces, producing sharp text, graphics, and 1D/2D barcodes that resist smearing from contact or light abrasion. With a 300-meter length, you spend less time swapping rolls and more time keeping your line moving. Store the ribbon at 5–35 °C and 30–80 % relative humidity to maintain optimal performance throughout its 12-month shelf life.
