Ribbon and Tape Compatibility Guide by Series

Printer consumables only work when they fit the printer. This guide organises tapes and ribbons by the printer series they are stated to fit, using the listings on the label tapes and ribbons page. Compatibility is stated only as listed: a tape or ribbon is never described here as fitting a series it is not stated to fit, and no universal-fit claim is made for any consumable.

G series

G series tapes include heat shrink tubes for the G series, gap labels, continuous labels, wrap-around labels, signs, flag cable labels, flame-retardant tapes, cryogenic tapes, high-temperature labels, round tapes, silk tapes and hot-stamping tapes. A G21 / G25 / G28 adapter series is listed separately, covering 4-hole signs, wrap-around self-laminating labels, gap labels, continuous labels, boxed heat shrink tubes, flag cable labels, cryogenic labels and thermal transfer jewellery labels. LP series tapes are listed as fitting the LP series, H series and G10, as stated, and that note is reproduced without expanding what the H series refers to.

T series

T series thermal papers include pharmaceutical labels, supermarket labels, tobacco labels, flat labels, transparent label papers, cable label papers, patterned label papers and jewellery label papers. These are thermal papers for the T series thermal printers; they are not described as fitting any other series.

MP series

MP series thermal transfer labels include bright silver brushed labels, thermal transfer heat shrink tubes, thermal transfer low-temperature labels, thermal transfer high-temperature labels, cryogenic low-temperature labels, flame-retardant labels, black thermal transfer labels and solid-colour continuous labels, plus MP50 printer ribbons. Each is listed as fitting or applying to the MP series, and none is described as fitting another series.

LP series and wide format

LP series tapes are listed under the LP series heading, and wide format ribbons are listed as LCP series ribbons. Tube printer ribbons, sign printer ribbons, TP2000 ribbons and TP20 ribbons are listed on the tube printer accessories page by the printer they are named for. When you inquire, state the printer model and the consumable name exactly as listed, and confirm the match before ordering.
