Product Features
Technical Overview
This ribbon cartridge utilizes dual print technologies—dye sublimation and thermal transfer—to produce durable, instantly dry prints ready for immediate handling. The dye-sublimation process bonds color into the card surface for long-lasting results, while thermal transfer provides sharp edge definition and reliable monochrome output.
With a specified yield of 1000 images, the cartridge supports extended operation between replacements, reducing downtime and consumable change frequency. The integrated cleaning roller helps maintain printhead performance by removing debris and residue during use.
