AG74 NE vs. AG71 NE: Which One and When

AG71 NE is a versatile near-edge ribbon for desktop and industrial printers, with speeds up to 300 mm/s. AG74 NE is specialized for inline (online) production systems, with speeds up to 650 mm/s. If you have a packaging line with a TTO printer running at high speeds, AG74 NE is the right choice. If you are printing labels on a desktop near-edge printer, AG71 NE is fast enough and more versatile across its media range.

AG74 NE Online Ribbon Applications

Where the AG74 NE Online Ribbon Is Used

Inline Packaging Lines

Specialized for online (inline) production systems where speed and reliability have no substitute. When a print stoppage means the entire production line stops, AG74 NE guarantees uninterrupted printing at speeds of up to 650 mm/s.

TTO coding of dates and batch numbers up to 650 mm/s
Flexible packaging on high-speed lines
Uninterrupted reliability with no stoppages
Individual and grouped packaging

RFID and Smart Packaging

The anti-static properties of AG74 NE make it ideal for RFID overprint applications. It prints over RFID tags without interfering with chip function. For PET labels, plastic tags, and smart labels in logistics and retail.

RFID overprint with no chip interference
Anti-static formulation for print head protection
PET labels and plastic tags
Smart labels for logistics and retail

Food and Pharmaceutical Industry

ISEGA approval guarantees safe use on food packaging. Direct Food Contact certified. For pharmaceutical labels, medication coding, shipping labels, and warehouse markings, with REACH, RoHS, and TSCA compliance.

AG74 NE: Online vs. Desktop AG74 NE is designed for inline (online) systems, but it also works excellently on any near-edge printer. If you need speeds above 300 mm/s or print directly on the production line (TTO), AG74 NE is the right choice. For desktop near-edge printing at speeds up to 300 mm/s, AG71 NE is more versatile and more economical.

Online (inline) means the ribbon works directly on the production line, integrated with the packaging machine. The TTO printer is part of the line and prints codes on moving packaging at speeds of up to 650 mm/s.

AG71 NE: versatile, 300 mm/s, wider media range. AG74 NE: inline, 650 mm/s, anti-static for RFID, ISEGA approved, thinner at 6.8 µm. AG74 for high-speed lines, AG71 for desktop use.

Yes. It works on all near-edge printers. For desktop use, AG71 NE is more economical.

650 mm/s, the fastest in the entire range. Twice as fast as AG71 NE (300 mm/s).

Yes. ISEGA approval for food contact. Also REACH, RoHS, TSCA, Halogen Free, and Direct Food Contact.

The anti-static formulation prevents the static charge that could damage an RFID chip. It prints over RFID tags without interfering with their function.

100°C. Higher than AG71 NE (70°C). For packaging that passes through heat tunnels and warm storage conditions.

Coated paper, laminated paper, various films, PET labels, plastic tags, and flexible packaging.

2/5. For high chemical resistance, we recommend RESIN ribbons (AG50 has 4/5). AG74 NE is optimized for speed and reliability, not chemical resistance.
