Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0352519A2] A thermal ink ribbon, especially a thermal carbon ribbon, is described which has a conventional support and a layer of a wax-bonded melt-on ink formed on one side of the support. This thermal ink ribbon is distinguished in that the melt-on ink contains at least one paraffin having a solidification temperature from about 50 to 100 DEG C and at least one ethylene/vinyl acetate wax which is capable of forming a eutectic with the paraffin. It leads to particularly intense prints in the thermal printing process.
