The ZX-40 Ultra Ribbon Printer is a versatile and widely used machine for creating customized designs on various materials, particularly Satin Style Ribbon, Sticker Vinyl and Wash-care Labels.
Despite it's popularity, there are several myths and misconceptions surrounding it.
Let's debunk some of these myths!
Myth 1: Ribbon Printing is Expensive
Fact: While the initial investment in a ribbon printer and supplies can be significant, the cost per printed ribbon is relatively low. Bulk printing, or even using our handy Multi-Print Attachments, is very cost-effective! Ask to take a look at our guidelines for an estimate on the cost per meter when printing a ribbon!
Myth 2: Only Professionals Can Do Ribbon Printing
Fact: Our Ribbon Printers have become accessible for everyone. We ship our machines worldwide, and you can print your chosen media in any language! Our machines are user-friendly and come with complete tutorial videos, a manual and our ongoing support. Even those with minimal technical/computer skills can achieve professional-looking results!
Myth 3: Ribbon Printing is Time-Consuming
Fact: Our ribbon printers are designed for efficiency and speed.
Once set up, the actual printing process is quick, often taking just seconds per ribbon. We offer pre-made templates in the most common ribbon sizes for the easy-to-use software to help save even more time!
Myth 4: Ribbon Printing is Limited to Ribbons
Fact: Despite the name, the ZX-40 Ultra Ribbon Printer can be used on various materials, including iron on labels, satin ribbon, polypropylene tearable Florist ribbon, and even die cut stickers and vinyl! This versatility makes the ZX-40 a valuable tool for a wide range of applications.
Myth 5: Printed Foils are Not Durable
Fact: Foils can be water-resistant, fade-resistant, and suitable for outdoor use, ensuring longevity and durability.
We have different foils available for each material type, as shown below:
Ribbon Printing Foils
55mm and 110mm wide foil size
