Super resin - AS2
For flat-head and near-edge printers
The AS2 is a superior (‘super’) resin ribbon ideal for applications needing exceptional heat,
mechanical and chemical resistance. Printing on to a wide range of synthetic material, high
gloss and matt coated papers, the printed image will withstand temperatures up to 250ºC
(482ºF). As with all Toshiba ribbons, the superior back coating prevents static build-up and
clogging, offering the very best in printhead protection.
Toshiba AS2 ribbons – the definitive choice for extreme conditions.
