GE300 Series Thermal Foil Replacement Ribbons and First Generation Reusable Cartridges

Calabasas Hills, CA (January 20, 2003) — GMI Introduces GE300 Series, the newest line of Thermal Foil Transfer Replacement Ribbons.

These premium thermal transfer ribbons are dimensionally stable, durable thermal transfer foils designed specifically for all digital thermal transfer printing systems including the Gerber Edge.

GE300 foil ribbons are available in a wide range of process and vivid spot colors in both 50 and 100-yard rolls. With an effective performance life of at least 3 to 5 years, GE300 replacement ribbons can withstand severe weather and handling conditions in most commercial and industrial applications.

In addition, GMI has released the first generation of REUSABLE CARTRIDGES. Users can now replace GE300 replacement ribbons without continuing the old practice of cutting OEM cartridges.

“The release of GE300 Series and its optional reusable cartridges provide GMI customers with an economical and environmentally-friendly printing solution without compromising output quality,” states Dennis Barbaro, Vice President, Sales and Marketing.
