Armor - APX 650 Wax-resin

APX 650 Wax-resin

Very good print quality

APX^® 650 combines multi-receptor compatibility with good levels of performance especially mechanical resistance. The ink provides excellent print quality for all types of barcodes, very small text, large characters and logos with an Optical Density Reflection of 1.7.

Excellent receptor sensitivity and mechanical resistance

The ribbon structure allows consistant performance on a wide range of receptors from coated papers to synthetics. The printed image is very sharp and offers very good levels of mechanical resistance, heat resistance up to 110° C and excellent light fastness.

High speed printing

Those characteristics remain at speeds up to 600 mm per second and is suitable for use on 200, 300 and 600 dpi printheads, making this ribbon perfectly adapted to the labelling market.
