They have developed a range of innovative technical solutions to solve unique problems faced in every day
applications. They have over 50 dedicated 
technicians in R & D and their quality department, all working to
bring to you the best and most reliable product. DataCol Solutions has been a distributor of their products
since 2003. In that time we have found that their products generally produce a better quality and consistent
result, than any comparable product on the New Zealand market. In may cases the only ribbon that worked well
on a particular product, was the ARMOR one. From DataCol, Armor ribbons are also very competitively priced.
We keep a range of widths in stock, for all 3 basic ribbon types. At present these are only available wound
Face IN (or INK IN) for Datamax printers.
Standard Roll Sizes & Materials
Material Types - DataCol Solutions holds 3 types of ribbon material for use with Datamax printers, and their uses are:
- Wax - For general purpose printing on matt paper
- Wax/Resin - For quality printing on Matt & Gloss paper, and some plastic materials.
- Resin - For high quality printing on a wide range of plastic & synthetic materials.
Ribbon Selection
- When selecting a ribbons for a print job, you should ensure that the ribbon is 5mm wider than the label backing glassine.
- Also, during manufacture, the label surface can be treated in a range of ways that totally change its performance. The printer will do this to make it easier for the thermal ribbon to key to the material. Therefore the suggested applications above MAY just not apply. We strongly suggest that you trial a single roll of the ribbon before you place a large order.
