The Zebra 03400BK08345 is a wax/resin ribbon built for environments where labels need to survive — not just stick. At 83mm x 450m, it prints crisp, durable images on Zebra coated and uncoated papers as well as a wide range of matte synthetic materials, supporting print speeds up to 200mm/sec (8ips) without sacrificing quality, even on rotated barcodes.
The elevated resin content is what separates this from a standard wax ribbon. It gives printed labels meaningful resistance to scratching, smearing, moderate heat, and abrasion — the kind of punishment that's routine in automotive labelling, steel mill tagging, and high-value item identification. If a label has to stay legible after handling, transit, or exposure to friction, the 3400 is the more considered choice.
It's an economical ribbon in the practical sense: the roll length and material compatibility reduce changeovers, and the image quality holds up across the label's working life. Manufacturer Part Number: 03400BK08345.
