Wax/resin - AG4

For corner / near-edge printers
The AG4 is a super premium wax/resin ribbon developed to perform in applications that need
extra mechanical resistance but at a much lower price than a full resin quality.
This ribbon is very versatile, performing well on most uncoated papers as well as glossy and
synthetic materials. It will withstand heat up to 110ºC (230ºF) and has a blackness of 1.6 (ODR).
The AG4 is also available in metallic white. As with all Toshiba ribbon products its superior back
coating offers the very best in printhead protection.
Toshiba AG4 ribbons – the efficient alternative for the very latest in printing technology.
