Electronic Imaging Materials, Inc. offers printing ribbons made by some of the most trusted and well-established names in the thermal transfer industry. These ribbons are manufactured to provide consistent, reliable thermal transfer ribbon performance and to meet the requirements of applications in a wide range of industries. They offer enhanced durability and readability even in environments that were traditionally considered too harsh for thermal transfer printing.

Here is a list of some our most popular Thermal Transfer Ribbons, but to keep things simple, we are not showing you all the ribbon formulas we offer. For that same reason, we are also not listing our COLORED Thermal Transfer ribbons.

As label specialists, Electronic Imaging Materials does our own extensive R&D to assure label and ribbon compatibility. We thoroughly test each product to assure not only excellent print quality but the best in application performance. We make it easy to find the right ribbon for your printer.

If you have a tough labeling condition, contact our Label Experts at (800) 535-6987 or email them at labelexperts@eiminc.com
