DNP Imagingcomm America Corporation (DNP) is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the V4085plus Versatile Resin-Enhanced Wax, its wax thermal transfer ribbon formulation. DNP says V4085plus has set the standard for performance in wax ribbons, earning the trust of distributors, converters, and end users worldwide.

Engineered with a specific blend of ingredients, V4085plus is said to deliver exceptional print quality and versatility, producing barcodes, text, and variable data across a wide range of substrates. Its proprietary Smoothcoat backcoat provides anti-static protection and reduces friction, helping to extend printhead life and minimize downtime.

“Twenty-five years is a remarkable achievement for any product, especially in a technology-driven industry,” says Mark Bjerkestrand, VP of sales and marketing at DNP. “V4085plus has earned its reputation by doing exactly what our customers expect: delivering clear, durable images with every print. We are grateful for the trust our customers have placed in this product for more than two decades, and we remain committed to supporting them with dependable, high-performance solutions.”

In honor of the anniversary, DNP has released a short commemorative video highlighting what makes V4085plus different. The video features the dedicated individuals who support the product and highlights the qualities that have made it a popular choice for label printing over the years. It will be available on DNPribbons.com and across DNP’s social media channels.

As DNP celebrates this milestone, the company says it remains committed to innovation and product development to meet the evolving needs of thermal transfer printing, both now and in the future.
