Zebra 05100NT05707 5100 Premium Resin Ribbon 2.25" x 244' 0.5" core 12 pack

Product identity

This Zebra 5100 Premium resin ribbon comes in a 12-pack sized for Zebra 2824 desktop printers. Each roll measures 2.25 inches wide by 244 feet long on a 0.5-inch core. It is designed for users who need durable, dense black output on synthetic or coated labels. The resin formulation targets harsh-environment labelling tasks.

Capacity and headroom

A single roll yields 244 feet of resin ribbon, supporting long print runs before a change-over is required. The 12-pack provides enough stock for extended production cycles or multiple workstations. Resin ribbons consume more heat energy than wax types, so very high-speed printing may reach the thermal head's limit sooner. Extremely abrasive or chemically aggressive surfaces can still degrade the printed image over time.

Interface limits

The 0.5-inch core fits only printers engineered for that spindle size, such as the Zebra 2824 series. Ribbon width of 2.25 inches must match the printhead width; wider or narrower media will not align correctly. Resin formulation requires higher heat settings than wax or wax-resin blends, so printers without adjustable temperature control cannot use this ribbon effectively. Core and width mismatches prevent installation entirely.
