The Only NE Ribbon with 5/5 Chemical Resistance

All other near-edge ribbons have a chemical resistance rating of 2/5. AG78 NE is the only one rated 5/5, making it ideal for industrial applications where labels come into contact with solvents, oil, fuel, cleaning agents, or aggressive chemicals. It also delivers smudge resistance of 5/5 and print quality of 5/5, a combination that does not exist in any other NE ribbon.

AG78 NE Ribbon Applications

Where Chemical-Resistant AG78 NE Is Used

Chemical Industry and Aggressive Environments

The only near-edge ribbon with 5/5 chemical resistance. For labels that come into contact with solvents, oils, fuel, cleaning agents, and aggressive chemicals. The print stays legible even after extended exposure to chemical environments.

Labels resistant to solvents and oils
Fuel, cleaning agents, chemicals
Chemical and petrochemical industry
Laboratory and industrial markings

Production Lines and Industry

For inline production systems with speeds up to 450 mm/s. Plastic identification tags, industrial labels for outdoor conditions, and general marking on production lines. Print quality 5/5 and smudge resistance 5/5 on PET and plastic materials.

Inline printing up to 450 mm/s
Industrial and outdoor labels
PET and plastic tags for identification
Thinnest NE ribbon (6.5 µm) for efficiency

Food Packaging and Exports

Direct Food Contact for food packaging with California 65 and CONEG compliance. For exporters who must meet the strictest U.S. regulations on heavy metals in packaging. Flexible packaging with chemically protected print.

A Unique Combination in the NE Category AG78 NE is the only near-edge ribbon that combines 5/5 chemical resistance with 5/5 print quality, 5/5 smudge resistance, and 450 mm/s speed. All other NE ribbons have chemical resistance of only 2/5. For applications where the print must withstand both mechanical wear and chemical contact at inline speed, AG78 NE has no alternative in the NE category.
Frequently Asked Questions

AG78 NE chemical resistant, your questions

Questions about 5/5 chemical resistance, differences from other NE ribbons, California 65, and choosing the right ribbon.

The only NE ribbon with maximum chemical resistance. All others have only 2/5. For applications where the print comes into contact with solvents, oils, fuel, or chemicals.

AG75: 600 mm/s, scratch 5/5, chemical 2/5. AG78: 450 mm/s, scratch 4/5, chemical 5/5. AG75 for mechanical resistance, AG78 for chemical resistance. Both have smudge 5/5 and quality 5/5.

Yes. 6.5 µm is the smallest thickness in the NE category. More meters per roll, lower consumption per print.

450 mm/s. Faster than AG71 and AG76/77 (300 mm/s), slower than AG74 (650 mm/s) and AG75 (600 mm/s).

Yes. California 65, CONEG, REACH, RoHS, TSCA, and Direct Food Contact. For exports to the U.S.
