Save Money Now on your label printer consumables

Techspan Industrial Printing Systems also converts a large range of thermal transfer ribbon from ‘Jumbo’ rolls to printer-ready rolls. The company has been converting thermal transfer ribbon and coding foils since 1999 when an SME Quadro 200 high speed slitting machine was installed.

“Now, we are a major converter of thermal transfer ribbon in New Zealand, supplying ribbon from Ricoh Japan, NCR USA, Iilamk USA and well as supplierts in Germany, France and Taiwan” Black ribbon is supplied in all grades: Wax, Wax Resin and Resin for flat head printers (Zebra, Datamax, Meto, Sato, TSC and Intermec to name a few) and near edge printers (Toshiba, Avery, Markem-Imaje, Easprint, Domino, Link).

“We also stock over 50 coloured ribbons for flat head printers in Wax Resin and Resin grades. Also including metallic in Gold, Silver, Red and Blue.

We have the ability to slit ribbon to any width and length our customer require, and on either cardboard or plastic cores to accommodate any printer type” said Jon Fastnedge.

As well as ribbons for desktop and industrial label printers, we also supply ribbon for TTO inline high-speed thermal coders. Printheads for all printer types and a range of blank label stock is also available.It is becoming harder to save money on consumables in the competitive New Zealand market, but label printing consumables remain in front as an effective way to reduce costs. As a converter of these we are confident we can save you money, possibly thousands of dollars” said Jon.
