What Type of Thermal Transfer Ribbons Do Brother TD4 Printers Use?

Brother TD4 desktop printers use thermal transfer ribbons with the ink coated side out (CSO). These ribbons come in two primary lengths:

• 74m (243 feet) on ½” cores, ideal for customers printing smaller quantities of labels.
• 300m (984 feet) on 1″ cores, perfect for higher-volume label runs.

Brother TD4 ribbons have notches, so there’s no need for a ribbon spindle adapter in most cases. However, if you’re using a 1-inch core ribbon without notches or any ribbons shorter than 4.33″ (110mm) at 300m/984 ft, you’ll need the Brother LBX113 TD4T RIBBON SPINDLE ADAPTER for proper installation.
