What printers are compatible with this Datacard ribbon?
This ribbon is compatible with multiple Datacard printer families including SP35, SP35Plus, SP55, SP55Plus, SP75, SP75Plus, FP65, FP65i, SD260, SD360, and SD460 models. It's designed specifically for these systems to ensure proper fit and optimal print quality.
What does YMCKT mean for the ribbon color configuration?
YMCKT represents the five layers in this ribbon: Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and Topcoat. This configuration enables full-color printing with a protective overcoat that enhances durability and scratch resistance for identification cards and secure documents.
How many images can I expect from one ribbon cartridge?
The typical print yield is 500 images per cartridge. This yield is based on standard printing conditions and provides a reliable estimate for planning consumable inventory and replacement schedules in identification card production environments.
What is dye sublimation print technology?
Dye sublimation uses heat to transfer dye into the card surface, creating permanent, high-resolution images. This process produces smudge-resistant prints with vibrant colors that are embedded in the card material rather than sitting on top, resulting in greater durability for frequently handled identification cards.
