AG71 NE vs. Flat-Head Ribbons

Near-edge printers use a different head position than flat-head printers. AG71 NE is optimized for near-edge printers and delivers its best quality only on those machines. If you have a flat-head printer (Zebra, Datamax, Intermec), use AG31 or AG34 from the WAX-RESIN category. If you have a near-edge printer (Avery Dennison, Novexx, Tec), AG71 NE is the versatile choice for every medium.

The print head is angled, positioned closer to the edge of the material. This gives faster heat transfer and better quality at high speeds. AG71 NE is optimized for this configuration.

This is not recommended. It will not damage the printer, but print quality will not be good. For flat-head printers, use AG31 or AG34.
