Product Features
Technical Overview
The R3012 ribbon utilizes dual print technologies—dye sublimation for high-quality color infusion and thermal transfer for sharp monochrome output. This combination ensures consistent print quality across various card materials and applications.
Engineered for Evolis printers, the ribbon maintains precise alignment and reliable feed mechanisms to minimize jams and waste. The black pigment formulation produces deep, opaque impressions that resist fading and abrasion under normal handling conditions.

FAQ
What printers is the Evolis R3012 black ribbon compatible with?
The R3012 ribbon is compatible with several Evolis printer families, including the Pebble series (Pebble, Pebble 3, Pebble 4), Dualys series (Dualys, Dualys 3), Quantum, and Securion models. This broad compatibility makes it a versatile supply option for organizations using multiple Evolis printer types.
How many cards can I print with one R3012 ribbon?
Each Evolis R3012 black ribbon has a typical print yield of 500 cards. This yield is based on standard printing conditions and card materials, providing a reliable estimate for supply planning and cost-per-card calculations in moderate-volume card production environments.
What print technologies does the R3012 ribbon support?
The R3012 ribbon supports both dye sublimation and thermal transfer printing technologies. Dye sublimation infuses color into the card surface for vibrant, durable prints, while thermal transfer applies a resin-based black layer for sharp monochrome output. This dual-technology capability allows flexibility in print job requirements.
