[V300 Features]

 The V300 is the ink ribbon with the high versatility of being able to print on a diverse materials that have come into popular use in recent years, while maintaining resin durability.


The main features are as follows.

High-level versatility: With the V300, it is now possible to print on materials which are unsuitable for printing, such as polypropylene (PP) and coated papers besides polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) while realizing substantially better durability than that of the current resin type ink. 


High-level durability: The V300 is highly resistant to alcohol and oil components, according to in-house surveys. 

 

High-level printing sensitivity: The V300 makes it possible to reduce the necessary heat volume for printing by a maximum of 20% compared to currently available products, such as the DNP-developed R300. And in addition to reducing the burden on the thermal head of the printer, the new ink ribbon also successfully achieves high speed printing, according to in-house surveys.

DNP has created the catchphrase Versatility Defined, which refers to outstanding versatility, as the brand message of the new V-series. We will continue to develop products boasting even higher-level durability, while maintaining printability with a broad array of labels. 

 At the same time, DNP will cooperate with label and tag manufacturers, to expand the industries and areas where the new V-Series ink ribbons can be applied.
