Dye-Sublimation/Resin Ribbons
Dye-sublimation/resin ribbons combine the yellow (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C)
dye-sublimation panels with one or two resin black (K) panels. By combining both
types of ribbon panels, these ribbons allow you to print full-color, photo-quality
images with the dye-sublimation panels along with sharp, black text and bar codes
with the resin black panel(s). With most of these ribbons, a clear overlay panel (O)
is also included to protect the dye-sublimation images. Dye-sublimation images
must have either an overlay panel or an overlaminate applied to them, or they will
quickly begin to wear or fade. The following dye-sublimation/resin ribbon types
are available:
Full-Color (YMCKO) This ribbon allows you to print full-color
(provides 250 prints) photo ID cards along with resin black text and
bar codes. Bar codes printed with resin black
can be read by both infra-red and visible-light
bar code scanners.
Full-Color (YMCKOK) This ribbon is intended to be used for
(provides 250 prints) dual-sided printing. By supplying two resin
black panels, this ribbon lets you print full-
color with resin black on one side and resin
black-only on the other, without wasting an
entirely new set of ribbon panels for the black-
only side. An overlay panel (O) is also
included to protect the side of the card with
full-color dye-sublimation printing. No
overlay is necessary for the resin black-only
side.
Full-Color (YMCKK) This ribbon is intended to be used only with
(provides 250 prints) Pro-L for dual-sided printing. By supplying
two resin black panels, this ribbon lets you
print full-color with resin black on one side
and resin black-only on the other, without
wasting an entirely new set of ribbon panels
for the black-only side. Since no overlay panel
is included, this ribbon must be used in
conjunction with the printerÕs overlaminate
function. No overlaminate is necessary for the
resin black-only side.
