Alternatives to Zebra 2300 & 2100 Wax Ribbons: Stop Paying the “Brand Tax”
If you own a Zebra printer, you probably order Zebra 2300 Standard Wax or Zebra 2100 High-Performance Wax by default.
It’s easy. It’s safe. But it is expensive.
In the high-volume world of logistics and warehousing, paying a premium for a “Brand Name” commodity product destroys your margins.
At Only Imaging, we manufacture direct replacements for these exact ribbon grades. We don’t just “fit” Zebra printers; we match their performance profile.
The Benchmark: Zebra 2300 (Standard Wax)
The 2300 is the workhorse for shipping labels. It prints dark at high speeds on uncoated paper.
-
Our Alternative: Only Imaging Standard Wax (SW Series).
-
Performance: Matches the darkness and speed (up to 12 IPS) of the 2300 series.
-
Winding: We wind it Coated Side Out (CSO) on a 1-inch core, so it drops right into your ZT230 or ZT410.
The Benchmark: Zebra 2100 (Premium Wax)
The 2100 contains a small amount of resin for better smudge resistance. It is used for retail tags and carton labels.
-
Our Alternative: Only Imaging Premium Wax (PW Series).
-
Performance: Offers the same scratch resistance on semi-gloss paper.
-
Back-Coating: Includes our premium anti-static back-coat to protect the printhead, just like the OEM product.
The Desktop Challenge (GK420 / ZD420)
Zebra desktop printers use a specific 0.5-inch core with notches. Many generic suppliers only sell 1-inch cores. Only Imaging manufactures the exact 74-meter / 110-meter rolls on 0.5-inch notched cores needed for the GK and ZD desktop series.
Conclusion: Same Print, Better Price
Why pay extra for the black plastic box? The ribbon inside is what matters.
