Why Choose Original Novexx Thermal Transfer Ribbons?
When it comes to industrial label printing, the ribbon you choose is just as important as the printer itself. At Advanced Labelling Systems Ltd, we supply original Novexx Solutions thermal transfer ribbons to ensure our customers get the very best performance, reliability, and long-term value from their labelling systems.
Novexx printers are precision-engineered in Germany and their original ribbons are developed to the same exacting standards. While unbranded or “compatible” ribbons may appear to offer short-term savings, they often compromise print quality and can significantly reduce the life of critical printer components, most notably, the print head.
Not all labels or applications are the same. Thermal transfer ribbons are available in different grades to suit a wide range of label substrates, from paper labels to synthetic films used in harsh environments. Selecting the correct ribbon formulation is essential to achieving optimal print quality and durability.
In addition, there are two main types of thermal transfer print head technology:
Flat-head print heads – the most common type, typically used for standard industrial labelling applications.
Near-edge (or thin film) print heads – designed for high-speed printing and often used in packaging lines.
Print speed also plays a crucial role. Higher speeds place greater demands on the ribbon, requiring higher-grade formulations to ensure consistent ink transfer without excessive wear.
The print head is an electronic component and a consumable item, it will eventually wear out. However, ribbon quality has a direct impact on how quickly that happens. Poor-quality or incompatible ribbons can cause increased abrasion, inconsistent ink transfer, and excessive heat build-up, all of which shorten print head life.
By using original Novexx ribbons, customers can be confident they are using products specifically designed to minimise wear, deliver consistent print quality, and extend print head lifespan, reducing downtime and overall cost of ownership.
As part of the same Possehl Group as Novexx Solutions, Advanced Labelling Systems Ltd offers genuine Novexx consumables with full confidence in their quality and compatibility. We stock a wide range of Novexx ribbon sizes here in the UK, enabling next-day delivery for standard sizes. Where non-standard dimensions are required, custom ribbon sizes can be manufactured to order.
Choosing original Novexx ribbons from Advanced Labelling Systems Ltd isn’t just about buying a consumable, it’s about protecting your printer, ensuring reliable performance and investing in long-term operational efficiency. And what's more, they cost no more than so-called "compatibles", so why would you use anything else?
