Overview
The Brady R4310 is a self-contained thermal printer ribbon cartridge engineered for Brady’s TLS 2200 and TLS-PC Link thermal labeling systems. This discontinued ribbon delivers durable, smear-resistant printing on industrial labels and films. At 2 inches wide by 75 feet long, each cartridge supports extensive production runs before replacement is needed. New in box inventory offers a reliable supply for facilities maintaining legacy TLS printer hardware.
Key Features
- Quick-change design: Self-contained cartridge installs in seconds without ribbon threading or printer recalibration
