Secure Your Gate: Thermal Transfer Solutions for Event Ticketing & Wristbands
For event organizers and theme parks, the ticket is currency. Whether it’s a paper ticket for a cinema or a Tyvek wristband for a 3-day music festival, the printing needs to be fast, durable, and secure.
At Only Imaging, we work with major ticketing integrators to solve two big problems: Counterfeiting and Sweat.
1. The Security Solution: UV Invisible Ink
Fake tickets are a nightmare for promoters. Did you know you can add a layer of “Invisible Security” using a thermal printer?
Only Imaging manufactures special UV Fluorescent Ribbons.
-
How it works: Under normal light, the print is invisible. Under a “Black Light” (UV lamp) at the gate check, the logo or code glows bright Neon Blue or Red.
-
Application: Print a static security watermark over your standard black text. It’s a cost-effective way to verify authenticity instantly.
2. The Durability Solution: Festival Wristbands
For multi-day events, attendees wear wristbands while dancing, sweating, and even showering. If you use a standard Wax ribbon, the QR code will smear by Day 2, slowing down your entry gates.
The Fix: Use Only Imaging Premium Wax/Resin (N809).
-
Sweat Resistant: Formulated to resist moisture and skin oils.
-
Fast Printing: Event gates need to print wristbands instantly on demand. Our ribbon supports print speeds up to 12 IPS.
3. Kiosk Ticketing (Cinema & Parking)
Self-service kiosks (like parking machines) sit outdoors or in unheated lobbies. They need a reliable ribbon that doesn’t snap when the machine is unattended.
-
Recommendation: Our Standard Wax is the workhorse for high-volume paper ticket stock (thermal transfer cardstock).
Conclusion: Speed and Security
Don’t let gate delays or fake tickets ruin the fan experience. Upgrade your consumables to match the quality of your event.
