Wax/resin - AG3

For flat-head printers
A ‘NEW’ generation product: AG3 is a wax/resin quality developed to complement the new
generation of flat-head printers. An extremely versatile product, it offers excellent print
performance on an even wider range of receiving materials than its predecessor, the AG2.
It has high sensitivity and therefore runs at lower temperatures and higher speeds, with
improved blackness of 2.1 (ODR) and heat resistance up to 100ºC (212ºF).
The enhancements of this premium wax resin product makes it the perfect choice for the flexible
packaging industry and, as with all Toshiba ribbon products, its superior back coating offers the
very best in printhead protection.
Toshiba AG3 ribbons – high quality smearless printing.
