V670: Next-Generation Near Edge Resin Ribbon

DNP Launches V670: Next-Generation Near Edge Resin Ribbon for High-Speed Packaging Printing

Japan – DNP has announced the launch of its latest innovation in thermal transfer printing, the V670 Rough & Smooth Surface Near Edge Resin ribbon. Engineered specifically for high-speed flexible packaging lines, this versatile ink ribbon offers a single-source solution for printing high-contrast barcodes, expiration dates, and serial numbers across diverse material types.

Unmatched Versatility for Plastic and Paper Packaging

Traditionally, packaging facilities required different ribbon formulations depending on whether they were printing on paper or plastic. The DNP V670 eliminates this complexity. It is uniquely engineered to deliver identical, high-definition print quality on both plastic films and paper packaging substrates with a single ink formulation.

Thinner Base Film Drives Operational Efficiency

The V670 features a breakthrough engineering advancement: a base material that is 10% thinner than standard ribbons. This reduction in thickness provides two distinct production advantages:

• Improved Transferability: Enhances ink compliance and sharpness under thermal printheads.
• Increased Printing Speeds: Allows manufacturers to maximize production throughput without compromising text or barcode legibility.

Built for High-Durability Applications

Formulated with high-grade resin, the V670 is highly resistant to smudging and scratching, ensuring that critical traceability data remains intact throughout the supply chain. This extreme durability makes it an ideal fit for demanding market sectors, including:

• Food & Beverage: Ideal for date coding on flexible food pouches and containers.
• Health & Beauty: Delivers clean, premium text on cosmetics packaging.
• Pharmaceutical: Ensures ultra-sharp, scannable compliance codes on medical items.
• Outdoor Environments: Resists degradation from weather, moisture, and handling.

Broad Substrate Compatibility

The V670 is certified for use on an extensive selection of industry-standard materials:

• Paper: Coated paper, craft paper, and wood-free paper.
• Synthetics: Synthetic paper, Polypropylene (OPP, CPP), and Polyester.
• Specialty Materials: Nylon and PET.

The DNP V670 Near Edge Resin ribbon is available immediately. Technical data sheets and ordering information can be requested through authorized DNP distributors.
