We thoroughly test our ribbons to assure consistent, reliable performance and to meet application requirements. The following chart provides you a list of materials that print best with each ribbon, along with some of their general characteristics and common applications. PLEASE NOTE: The ribbons listed here are our most popular formulas, but we have many others to suggest for special labeling requirements. If you have a tough labeling condition, contact our Label Experts at (800) 535-6987 or email them at labelexperts@eiminc.com
