Godex RT200i / RT230i ribbon — size, core and grade
The Godex RT200i / RT230i takes 59mm × 110m ribbon on a ½" core.
Codewell Image manufactures that ribbon in Badli, New Delhi — wax, wax-resin and resin grades, slit to your label width, with a free sample before you order.
About the RT200i
The RT200i and RT230i are Godex's 2-inch desktop printers, at 203dpi with a 54mm print width and 300dpi with 56.9mm, printing at up to 7 inches a second at 203dpi and 5 at 300dpi. The ribbon is narrow. Godex lists width from 56mm to 59mm, so the 110mm ribbon of Godex's 4-inch printers does not fit here. The roll is up to 110m long, with a roll diameter of up to 38mm, on a ½-inch core. Our slitting range starts at 25mm, so 59mm is a standard cut for us rather than a special order. Godex states no winding for these two models, so we confirm it against your current roll. Wax suits paper labels, and polyester or polypropylene labels need wax-resin or resin. Free sample first, then volume.

Which grade for a RT200i
The printer does not decide the grade — the label material and the conditions it has to survive do.
Economy paper label printing (Godex EZ-130, DT4)
General industrial applications (Godex EZ-2250i, G500)
Synthetic and durable labels (Godex RT700iW, ZX420i)
High-clarity pharma and compliance labels (Godex G530)

Loading ribbon in a Godex printer
Ribbon size varies by Godex model: the RT200i takes 56–59mm on a ½ inch core, and the RT700 and G500 take up to 110mm on a 1 inch core. Winding varies by model — the EZ2250i accepts both; for desktop models, check your current roll or send us your model number.
Godex RT200i / RT230i ribbon — common questions
What ribbon size does the Godex RT200i / RT230i use?+
59mm × 110m on a ½" core. At 110m a roll covers roughly 1,100 labels at 100mm pitch. Godex lists 56–59mm ribbon for this printer; send us your label width.
Is the RT200i inside or outside wound?+
Godex's documents for the RT200i do not state the winding, so check your current roll: scratch the outer surface with a fingernail — if it marks, the roll is outside wound. We make both and will match your roll.
Which ribbon grade should I use in a RT200i?+
Grade follows the label, not the printer. Desktop units like the RT200i are most often paired with paper stock, where wax (CW-11 or CW-12) is the right grade. Move to wax-resin only if the label is coated or synthetic.
Can I get a free sample for my RT200i?+
Yes. We manufacture in Badli, New Delhi and send samples so you can print on your own RT200i with your own label stock before ordering volume. Wash-care and resin grades in particular are worth testing rather than taking on spec.
