The future of printing and packaging is converging in Chicago, and ARMOR-IIMAK is at the heart of the evolution.
As we join LOUPE Americas 2026, held from September 15–17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago, USA (Booth 537), we aren’t just bringing ribbons; we’re bringing a new standard for the North American market.
This year’s showcase focuses on two game-changers: the revolutionary AWR XL and our premium inkanto services.
The Star of the Show: Introducing AWR XL
The presence of AWR XL at LOUPE Americas 2026 marks a true “Wax Revolution” as ARMOR-IIMAK is shifting the conversation toward operational excellence and sustainability.
What makes AWR® XL different?
- More Uptime, Less Waste: Built on an ultra-thin 3.35µm PET film the thinnest in the industry AWR XL allows for much longer rolls. This translates to a 40% increase in printer uptime because you spend less time and make savings changing rolls.
- The most sustainable Wax Ribbon: Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s measurable. Every roll of AWR® XL reduces plastic waste by 26% and saves approximately 830g of CO2 compared to a standard wax ribbon.
- 0% Solvents: This is a 100% solvent-free ribbon, making it the ideal choice for businesses looking to comply with tightening environmental regulations while maintaining high-quality print density on paper substrates.
More Than a Product: The inkanto Experience
At our booth, you’ll also experience the inkanto difference. We believe a ribbon is only as good as the service that supports it. inkanto is our commitment to a “hassle-free” printing experience through exclusive services:
- Lifetime Guarantee: Every inkanto ribbon is guaranteed for life against any manufacturing defect.
- Printhead Care: To maximize your hardware’s lifespan, every box includes a free cleaning wipe, and our ribbons feature the CleanStart® leader to clean the printhead automatically during installation.
- Digital Traceability: Simply scan the QR code on any inkanto box to instantly access its Certificate of Conformity (CoC) and technical data.
- And many other benefits…
