Ribbons For The SafetyPro

Let's start at the beginning. Without a ribbon your SafetyPro can't print anything. Without a quality ribbon you will not be getting durable, clear, effective labels and signs. Without the right ribbon, you may get no printing at all.

What do I mean by "the right ribbon". Different types of label materials have different characteristics. The "inks" from some types of ribbons may adhere to one type of material, but not to another. For example, the ribbon used to print on vinyl tapes will not print well on polyolefin shrink tubing. Of course, in the past that was not a problem because the maker of the SafetyPro does not have shrink tube material available for the SafetyPro. But we do. And we have the right ribbons for printing on polyolefin shrink tube.

Another consideration is how the label will be used. What type of environment will it be exposed to? SafetyPro ribbons are chemical resistant, just as our ribbons are also chemical resistant. But "chemical resistant" does not mean the printing will resists all types of chemicals. Take petroleum products for example. They are common and they dissolve a wide variety of materials, including the chemical resistant printing on your labels. If you need labels and signs that can stand up to exposure to petroleum products, you need to use a petroleum resistant ribbon.

We stock petroleum resistant ribbons for the SafetyPro printer. The last time we checked they were not available from the maker of the SafetyPro.

You'll hear that a lot. There are a lot of supplies that are not available from the maker of the SafetyPro... but you'll be able to get them from us.
