Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for Evolis card printers, the R2011 ribbon utilizes dual-print technology. Dye sublimation produces vibrant, photo-quality color infusion into the card surface, while thermal transfer applies a protective resin overlay for enhanced durability and scratch resistance. This combination ensures long-lasting card integrity in demanding use cases.
The ribbon's monochrome black formulation is optimized for text, barcodes, and simple graphics, delivering high optical density without smudging or fading. Its 1000-card yield rating is based on standard print coverage, providing a predictable supply lifecycle for inventory planning and cost-per-card calculations.

FAQ
What printers is the Evolis R2011 ribbon compatible with?
The Evolis R2011 ribbon is compatible with Evolis Pebble, Dualys, and Quantum series card printers. It is a genuine manufacturer supply optimized for these models, ensuring proper printhead alignment, consistent output quality, and warranty compliance. Using it with supported Evolis printers minimizes the risk of jams or print defects.
How many cards can I print with one R2011 ribbon?
Each Evolis R2011 ribbon has a typical print yield of 1000 cards. This yield is based on standard print coverage and provides a predictable supply lifecycle for planning card production volumes. Actual yield may vary slightly depending on print density and card design, but it supports efficient batch printing for small to medium runs.
What print technologies does the R2011 ribbon support?
The R2011 ribbon supports both dye sublimation and thermal transfer printing technologies. Dye sublimation infuses color into the card surface for vibrant graphics, while thermal transfer applies a protective resin overlay that enhances durability and scratch resistance. This dual-technology approach produces professional, long-lasting monochrome cards.
Is the R2011 ribbon suitable for outdoor or high-wear applications?
Yes, the R2011 ribbon's thermal transfer overlay provides added durability, making it suitable for cards exposed to frequent handling or outdoor conditions. The protective resin coating helps resist scratches, fading, and moisture, ensuring credentials remain legible and intact in demanding environments like construction sites, events, or access control points.
