Printer Components: Resin-Only Print Ribbons
Resin-only print ribbons consist of a continuous roll of a single resin color. No protective
overlay panel (O) is provided since resin images do not require the protection of such an
overlay. The following resin-only ribbon types are available for use with the C16:
Type Description
Standard Resin Black
(K) (provides 1,000
prints) This ribbon provides high resin durability ideal for most general-
purpose monochrome ID card applications. Resin black bar
codes are readable by both infrared and visible-light bar codes
scanners.
Premium Resin Black
(K) (provides 1,000
prints) This ribbon provides maximum resin durability ideal for
applications such as access control where cards are repeatedly
swiped through a Magnetic Stripe reader. Resin black bar codes
are readable by both infrared and visible-light bar codes
scanners.
(Note: Using a Premium Resin Black ribbon will provide better
photo realistic output.)
Colored Resin
(provides 1,000 prints)
Several colored resin ribbons are available in a variety of colors
for customizing or color-coding resin-only ID cards.
Metallic Resin
(provides 1,000 prints)
Metallic resin ribbons are available for printing resin images with
a unique metallic sheen.
Scratch-Off Resin
(provides 1,000 prints)
A scratch-off resin ribbon is available for printing over areas of a
pre-printed card in order to hide specific information such as a
personal identification number.
