Printer Components: Print Ribbons

The Card Printer utilizes both dye-sublimation and/or resin thermal transfer methods to print
images directly onto blank cards. Since the dye-sublimation and the resin thermal transfer
print methods each provide their own unique benefits, Print Ribbons are available in dye-
sublimation-only and combination dye-sublimation/resin versions.

To make it easier to remember which Print Ribbons are which, a letter code has been
developed to indicate the type of ribbon Panels found on each ribbon.

This letter code is as follows:

= Dye-Sublimation Yellow Panel

= Dye-Sublimation Magenta Panel

= Dye-Sublimation Cyan Panel

= Resin Black Panel

= Heat Seal Panel
