Which Zebra ribbon for which job
Your label and what it must survive decide the Zebra ribbon: wax, wax/resin or resin. Each job below names the grades we suggest.
Wax ribbons: Zebra recommends them for paper labels, fast printing and little exposure to chemicals or rubbing.
Wax/resin ribbons: for top-coated paper and matte synthetic labels with moderate to harsh rubbing or chemicals. Zebra rates the 3300 strong against rubbing but weaker against solvents.
Resin ribbons: for synthetic labels and some top-coated labels and tags exposed to harsh chemicals.
Zebra's 5100 is made for ultra-high temperatures and harsh outdoor conditions; Image Lock for extreme environments without a laminate.
Consider: 5100, Image Lock
The ZD421 cartridge model takes Zebra ribbon cartridges, not ribbon rolls. Tell us the model and we confirm the cartridge part number for India in your quotation.

Reading a part number
Take 05319BK08305, the sample part number on Zebra's Asia Pacific 5319 page: 05319 names the grade (5319 wax) and BK the colour (black; the red sample is 05319RD08305). We confirm the full code for your printer and roll in the quotation. Some sample codes on Zebra's Asia Pacific pages start with SAM, such as SAM06100BK11045 for 6100.
The full code depends on the roll your printer takes, and Zebra publishes no full Asia Pacific or India list. Send us the code on your current ribbon box, or your printer and label width, and we confirm the exact Zebra part number for India in your quotation.
Questions buyers ask
Both. We supply genuine Zebra ribbons by part number on request, and we can also offer our own ribbon of the same type (wax, wax/resin or resin) as an alternative. Tell us which you prefer when you ask for a quote.
Not as a full list: Zebra's Asia Pacific pages show a sample part number for some grades, and zebra.com has no India site. Send us your printer, label width and roll length, or the code on your current ribbon box, and we confirm the exact Zebra part number for India in your quotation.
At least as wide as your label (Zebra recommends this to protect the printhead) and no wider than your printer takes. Our ribbon fit table lists the ribbon width range of every printer in our catalogue.
Zebra's ZT411, ZT421, ZT610 and ZT620 take ribbon coated on the outside as standard, with an optional spindle for ink-side-in ribbon. Tell us your printer model and we will quote the right winding.
Send us the width, length and core you need and the printer model, and we check what can be supplied in India before we quote.
