IMP showcases thermal transfer ribbon range at Loupe

Z107XL extra-length wax ribbon offers 20 percent longer runtime at the Chicago show.

International Media Products will present its thermal transfer ribbon portfolio at Loupe Americas 2026 in Chicago, with the Z107XL Premium Resin-Enhanced Extra Length Wax Ribbon headlining the booth.

The Z107XL uses thin-film technology to provide approximately 20 percent longer ribbon length compared with standard alternatives, reducing printer downtime and ribbon changeovers. The ribbon targets high-speed performance and durability across a wide range of label materials and applications.

IMP will also present its full range of wax, wax/resin, resin and near-edge and thermal transfer overprint ribbons for barcode labeling, flexible packaging, date coding, logistics, healthcare, manufacturing and retail applications.

'Our goal is to be more than just a ribbon supplier,' said Derek West, president of IMP. 'We focus on helping customers improve operational performance, reduce total imaging costs, and gain a competitive advantage through product expertise, responsive support, and reliable supply.'
