Product Features
Technical Overview
This ribbon utilizes dye sublimation print technology, which transfers dye directly into the card surface through heat application. The process creates durable, high-opacity prints that resist fading and wear, maintaining legibility throughout the card's lifecycle.
The high yield designation indicates this ribbon is optimized for extended use between replacements, with a typical output of 1500 pages per ribbon. This specification helps organizations plan supply inventories and reduce the frequency of ribbon changes during high-volume printing periods.
Key Product Advantages
This Entrust Datacard ribbon combines several features that benefit card printing operations. The dye sublimation technology produces prints that are immediately dry upon exiting the printer, allowing cards to be handled, encoded, and distributed without waiting for ink to set.
High Volume Efficiency
With a 1500-page yield, this ribbon supports extended printing sessions and reduces the frequency of supply changes, minimizing operational interruptions.
- Optimized for bulk printing operations
- Reduces supply change frequency
Compatibility Assurance
Designed specifically for Entrust Sigma card printers including DS1 and DS2 models, this ribbon ensures proper fit and optimal print performance.
- Guaranteed compatibility with specified printers
- Maintains print quality standards
Deployment / Use Cases
This high yield black monochrome ribbon is ideal for organizations that produce identification cards, access credentials, or membership cards in volume. The 1500-page capacity makes it particularly suitable for environments with regular card issuance needs, such as corporate security departments, educational institutions, or membership organizations.
The dry print technology is especially valuable in settings where cards must be processed immediately after printing, such as on-demand badge creation for visitors or temporary access credentials. The monochrome black output provides clear, professional text and graphics for identification purposes without requiring color elements.
