Armor - AXR 800 Resin
AXR 800 Resin

AXR 800 is dedicated to applications requiring the best levels of chemical, mechanical and heat 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 1.8.
Excellent Solvent and High Temperature Resistance
The ribbon structure allows printing on many kinds of synthetics — PVC, PET, PE and PP — on various matt and high gloss coated papers. The printed image is very sharp and offers very good levels of mechanical resistance, heat resistance up to 250° C and excellent light fastness.
High Speed Printing
Those characteristics remain at speeds up to 200 mm per second and is suitable for use on 200, 300 and 600 dpi printheads. AXR 800 resin grade features outstanding back-coat technology that ensures excellent printhead protection preventing both clogging and static build-up.
