Mynds thermal transfer ribbons — made by us, in New Delhi

Mynds is our own ribbon brand, coated and converted at our New Delhi plant. Because we cut the rolls ourselves, we hold roughly 150 variants across the five grades — every common width and length, both core sizes, and both wind directions — so the size your printer takes is a stock item rather than a six-week import.

Wax

Mynds 20 Wax

The everyday ribbon. High-sensitivity wax that prints clean, dense barcodes at speed and at low darkness settings, which is easier on the printhead and cheaper per label than pushing a harder ribbon.

Prints on: Uncoated and matt-coated paper labels.

Used for: Carton and shipping labels, warehouse and inventory labels, retail price and MRP labels, courier and e-commerce manifests, general despatch.

Resin

Mynds 30 Resin

A step up in durability where a wax print would smudge. Holds its edge under handling, moisture and light abrasion, and prints sharp enough for small text and dense 2D codes.

Prints on: Gloss-coated paper and entry-level synthetic labels.

Used for: Cold-chain and frozen goods, logistics labels handled repeatedly, chemical and lubricant packaging, labels that live outdoors for weeks rather than hours.

Premium resin

Mynds 40 Premium Resin

Full resin for labels that have to survive the product they are stuck to. Resists solvents, oils, heat and sustained abrasion, and stays scannable after the kind of treatment that destroys a wax print in minutes.

Prints on: Polyester, polypropylene, polyimide, vinyl and other synthetic label stock.

Used for: Asset and equipment tags, electronics and PCB labels, automotive components, pharmaceutical and laboratory labelling, drum and chemical containers, outdoor and rating plates.

Washcare / textile

Mynds 50 Washcare

Built for garment care labels and nothing else. Bonds to woven textile tape and survives industrial laundering, repeated domestic wash cycles, dry cleaning solvent and pressing — which is the whole test a care label has to pass.

Prints on: Satin, taffeta, nylon and polyester woven tapes.

Used for: Care and content labels, size and brand labels, wash instruction labels, laundry and hospitality tagging, garment export documentation labels.

Near-edge / thermal transfer overprinting

Mynds 60 Near-edge TTO

Cut for thermal transfer overprinters rather than label printers. A near-edge head strikes the ribbon at an angle and at line speed, so it needs a harder backcoat to survive the friction and a release layer tuned to transfer in milliseconds onto film rather than paper. Flat-head ribbon in a TTO coder smears, drags, and takes the printhead with it — this is the ribbon that does not.

Prints on: Flexible packaging film, laminate, foil, BOPP and PET webs.

Used for: Date and batch coding on packaging lines, flow-wrap and sachet printing, pouch and laminate coding, FMCG and food packaging, pharmaceutical carton coding.

Converted for flat-head and near-edge printers

Flat-head printers

Desktop and industrial thermal transfer label printers, where the printhead sits flat against the platen. Standard label printing across warehousing, retail and manufacturing.

Near-edge TTO printers

Thermal transfer overprinters mounted on packaging and filling lines, printing directly onto film and laminate at line speed. Near-edge machines need a different ribbon construction from flat-head printers — ordering flat-head ribbon for a TTO coder is the most common consumables mistake we see.

The list is illustrative, not exhaustive. We coat and slit our own ribbon, so the machine on your bench does not need to be named above — every thermal transfer ribbon in the world is a width, a length, a core size and a wind direction, and we cut all four to order. If it takes a thermal transfer ribbon, we make one that fits it.

Tell us the make, model and the ribbon size currently fitted — or just post us the empty core, which answers every one of those questions at once — and we will match it.

Not sure which grade you need? Send us the label material and what the label has to survive — heat, solvent, freezing, laundering — and we will send a sample roll to test on your own printer before you commit to a quantity.

Buying from Mindware

India's biggest barcode and RFID solutions provider — more than 36 years of experience, 500,000+ customers and 50,000+ printers under maintenance contract. Zebra, TSC, Godex and Citizen each build printers; we are independent of all of them, so we recommend the printer that fits your job, manufacture the labels and ribbons it runs on, and keep it working afterwards.

Our own service centre

We are an independent service centre for TSC and Zebra printers — installation, repair, printhead replacement and calibration handled in-house. You are not routed to a third party when something goes wrong.

50,000+ printers under maintenance

Annual maintenance contracts covering preventive servicing and priority support, so a failed printer does not stop your despatch line.

Labels and ribbons we make ourselves

We manufacture thermal transfer ribbons and label stock, tested on these printers before it ships — wax, wax/resin and resin ribbons, paper, polyester and synthetic labels, matched to your printer and application.

29 years, since 1997

Supplying barcode printing hardware since 1997 to more than 500,000 customers across India. Buying from Mindware means the printer, the consumables and the people who fix it all come from one place.

Service and support: what is free and what is charged

Bought from Mindware — support and service free of cost

Buy the printer here and we take responsibility for keeping it working. Installation, configuration, fault diagnosis and warranty repair are handled by our own engineers at no charge, backed by the principal — the manufacturer. You raise it with us; we deal with the manufacturer.

Bought elsewhere — paid service

We service printers bought from any other source too, as chargeable work through the TSC Printers Paid Service Centre, run by Mindware — diagnosis, repair, printhead replacement and calibration, quoted before we start. An annual maintenance contract usually costs less than call-outs if the machine sits on a production line.

Printer not working? For paid service, send us the problem on WhatsApp.

Send a photo of the print quality or the error on screen, the make and model, and what changed just before it started. That is usually enough for our engineers to tell you whether it is a setting, a consumable or a fault — before anyone books a visit.

What free support depends on. Free service is provided with the backing of the principal. Where the manufacturer declines a claim — physical or liquid damage, repairs attempted elsewhere, or a printer outside its warranty period — we cannot carry that cost ourselves, and the work becomes chargeable. We will tell you before any work starts and quote it first, so nothing is a surprise.

A counter you can walk into, not a call centre. Bring the printer, or send us the model and we will tell you what it needs before you spend anything.

Replied to the same working day.

When we are open

Monday to Saturday
10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Closed Sundays, national holidays and Hindu festival holidays. No calls or support are taken on those days.

Print heads, labels and ribbons are on the shelf — most repairs are looked at the day they arrive.

Remote printer support — anywhere in the world

Most barcode printer faults are settings, not hardware, and settings can be fixed down a wire. We take over the machine with AnyDesk, or walk you through it on a video call, and in most cases the printer is printing again before the call ends. India or overseas — a printer in Dubai, Lagos or Colombo is the same job as one in Dwarka.

We also ship labels and ribbons worldwide, cut to your size, core and width — which is the other half of what we do all day.

And if your system can only send a file, we make PRN files to order — your label written in the language the printer itself reads, for TSC, Zebra, Godex, Citizen, SATO, Toshiba and more. A paid job, quoted before we start.

From 1 September 2026 ₹1,200 + 18% GST in India, per session US$12 + 18% GST outside India, per session
