Printer Components: Dye-Sublimation/Resin Print Ribbons
Type Description
Dye-
Sublimation/
resin Print
Ribbon The Dye-Sublimation/resin Print Ribbon combines the yellow (Y),
magenta (M) and cyan (C) dye-sublimation panels with a resin black (K)
panel.
By combining both types of Ribbon panels, this Ribbon can be used 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.
A clear overlay panel (O) is also included on most Ribbons to protect the
dye-sublimation images. Dye-Sublimation images must have an overlay
panel applied to them, or they will quickly begin to wear or fade.
Full-Color
(YMCKO)
(provides 250
prints) This Ribbon is used to print full-color photo ID cards along with resin
black text and bar codes. Both infrared and visible-light bar code
scanners can read bar codes printed with resin black.
• An overlay panel (O) is included to protect the full-color dye-
sublimation printing.
