Functional Specifications

This card printer utilizes two different, yet closely related printing technologies to achieve its
remarkable direct-to-card print quality for dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer.
1.5

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 resin-only, 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 (Premium unless otherwise stated)
= Clear Protective Overlay Panel
= Fluorescing Panel
