Printer Components - Print Ribbons

Print ribbons are available in several versions to meet a variety of requirements:
•
Resin-only
•
Dye-sublimation-only
• 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:
Y
= Dye-Sublimation Yellow Panel
M
= Dye-Sublimation Magenta Panel
C
= Dye-Sublimation Cyan Panel
K
= Resin Black Panel (Premium unless otherwise stated)
O
= Clear Protective Overlay Panel
F
= Fluorescing Panel
