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.

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
= Ultra Violet Fluorescing Panel
