Zebra 5095 & 5100 Resin Alternative: High Performance Without the High Price
When you move up to Zebra 5095 Performance Resin or 5100 Premium Resin, you are usually printing critical labels:
-
Asset Tags
-
Circuit Boards (PCB)
-
Chemical Drums
These labels cannot fail. That is why users are afraid to switch away from the OEM brand.
But “High Performance” is a chemical specification, not a brand name.
Only Imaging has engineered our SP-Resin Series to match the chemical resistance and durability of Zebra’s top-tier resins.
The Benchmark: Zebra 5095 (High Performance)
The 5095 is famous for its chemical resistance and ability to print on gloss synthetics.
-
Our Alternative: Only Imaging SP-500 Resin.
-
Chemical Test: We tested SP-500 against 5095 using Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and Acetone. The results? Identical. Both survive 50+ double rubs.
-
Heat Test: Both survive temperatures up to 150°C.
The Benchmark: Zebra 5100 (Premium Resin)
The 5100 is designed for even tougher environments and specialized top-coated labels.
-
Our Alternative: Only Imaging Ultra-Resin.
-
UL Recognition: Just like Zebra, our Ultra-Resin is recognized under UL 969 for use on Polyester and Polyimide films.
Printhead Protection
Zebra markets their “PrintheadSaver®” technology. We use a Silicone-Based Back-Coating that provides the exact same low-friction protection. We guarantee our ribbons will not prematurely wear out your printhead.
Conclusion: Don’t Fear the Switch
You don’t have to choose between “Safe” and “Affordable.” With Only Imaging, you get UL-grade durability and chemical resistance, backed by a manufacturer’s guarantee.
