Wax / hybrid tree ribbon (WAX / RESIN) typically contain a high percentage of the raw material resin component, which determines the melting point of this ribbon, this ribbon print when compared with a wax ribbon also requires a high level, since the majority of the resin is harder than wax, print out the pattern scratch resistance and chemical resistance is better than wax-based ribbon. Most mixed base ribbon composed of two or more layers.

Resin (RESIN) ribbon containing the highest percentage of resin component in the energy level required for printing into a mixed group is higher than the wax-based, because most of the resin is harder than wax, high resin content makes this ribbon is excellent the scuff resistance and chemical resistance.

Wax ribbon (WAX RIBBON) generally contain a high percentage of wax-based raw materials, these raw materials determines the level when the melting point of the ribbon, the melting point of impact printing needs, in general, due to the much lower than the melting point of the wax resin, wax level ribbon printing needs is much lower than when you print a mixed group, and a resin matrix. Also, because most of the soft wax than the resin, the durability of wax ribbons print graphics as good as mixed group and resin-based, most of the wax-based ribbons only a coating.
