Tattoo uses two types of ribbons:
■ Color ribbon also called multi-panel ribbon
■ Monochrome ribbons available in different colors: black, red, green, blue, white, gold, silver
The Evolis original ribbons are specially designed to guarantee optimum operation of your
equipment without any risk of damage. The use of ribbons from any other source than Evolis
could seriously damage the print head, consequently entailing the immediate interruption of
the factory warranty.
For optimum printing quality, Evolis recommends cleaning all the equipment each time a ribbon is
changed. It is up to the user to make this determination, provided, however, that he makes sure to
comply with the mandatory cleaning cycles in order to keep the equipment in perfect operating condi-
tions (consult the chapter on Ordinary Maintenance).
The validity of the factory guarantee is conditional upon compliance with these cleaning
cycles (cf. Limited Evolis Warranty document).
