Common questions
01How do I know if I need ink-in or ink-out?
Most desktop barcode printers use ink-out ribbons. Rub the ribbon on a sheet of paper: if it marks on the outside face, it is ink-out. Tell us your printer model and we will confirm.
02Which ribbon should I use for jewellery tags?
Resin. Jewellery tags are polyester and handled a lot, and resin print does not scratch or smudge.
03What width do I need?
Use a ribbon slightly wider than your label. For a 100 mm label, a 105 or 110 mm ribbon is typical.
04Do you supply ribbons and labels together?
Yes. Buying both from us means the ribbon is matched to the label stock.
