Videojet launches Ultra Grade black ribbon for confectionery & bakery flexible packaging

Videojet Technologies has launched an Ultra Grade black ribbon for its DataFlex and 6X00 thermal transfer overprinter (TTO) products used in a variety of applications including the snack, bakery, confectionery and candy markets.

With its backcoat technology, the ribbons offer outstanding print quality and extended printhead life for printing details such as date, time, batch code, ingredients, logos and marketing information onto flexible film packaging, labels or glossy cards.

The Ultra Grade ribbon for Videojet TTO products offers excellent sensitivity and compatibility with various substrates such as coated papers, metallic foils and poly films,” said Heidi Wright, business unit manager, Supplies, Videojet.

The Ultra Grade black ribbon comes in lengths up to 1200 metres for extended run times with fewer ribbon changes.

It also improves print quality at high speeds in high and low temperature environments, compared to the standard Videojet black ribbon.
