FAQ
What printers is this ribbon compatible with?
This CBGR0500K ribbon is specifically designed for Evolis Badgy 100 and 200 series card printers. It is not compatible with other printer models or brands. Using genuine Evolis ribbons ensures proper fit, optimal temperature performance, and maintained print quality in these compatible Badgy printers.
How many cards can I print with this ribbon?
The typical print yield for this thermal transfer ribbon is 500 cards under standard printing conditions. This yield represents the average production capacity when printing standard ID cards or badges with typical coverage. Actual yield may vary slightly based on specific print density, card stock, and environmental factors.
What type of printing technology does this ribbon use?
This ribbon utilizes thermal transfer printing technology, which applies heat to transfer black pigment from the ribbon onto card surfaces. This creates durable, smudge-resistant prints suitable for identification cards and badges that require longevity and professional appearance. Thermal transfer differs from direct thermal printing as it uses a ribbon rather than heat-sensitive media.
Is this a genuine Evolis product?
Yes, the CBGR0500K is a genuine Evolis consumable manufactured to the company's specifications. It carries the Badgy brand designation and is produced in France. Using genuine ribbons maintains printer warranty coverage and ensures compatibility with Evolis Badgy 100 and 200 series printers for reliable performance.
