Our Products

MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition)

In the 1960’s, Columbia pioneered the development and manufacture of magnetic ribbons for printing cheques and security documents to be electronically cleared.

Recognized as a global leader in this field, we remain one of only a handful of manufacturers of these products. Columbia security printing ribbons are used with confidence by banks and security printers all over the world. 

TTR (Thermal Transfer Ribbons)

Columbia Ribbon has manufactured TTR for more than 20 years and has established a strong business in the UK and mainland Europe.

With our wide range of ribbons, all made in our London factory, Columbia offers an unrivalled service for today’s users of high speed sophisticated thermal transfer printers and, coupled with a competitive edge, is well placed to offer an excellent service both to UK and overseas customers. 

Thermal Cleaning Kit

If you have thermal transfer printers, then you need a Columbia International Thermal Cleaning Kit.
