FAQ
What printer models is this ribbon compatible with?
This Zebra 800100-109 ribbon is specifically compatible with the Zebra ZC100 Card Printer. It is designed as an original manufacturer part for this model, ensuring proper fit, performance, and image quality. Using this ribbon with other printer models may result in compatibility issues or suboptimal printing results.
How many cards can I print with one ribbon?
The Zebra 800100-109 thermal transfer ribbon has a typical print yield of 1500 images. This yield represents the expected number of card prints under normal operating conditions before the ribbon needs replacement. Actual yield may vary slightly based on specific card designs, print density, and environmental factors, but 1500 images provides a reliable benchmark for supply planning.
What printing technologies does this ribbon support?
This ribbon supports both thermal transfer and dye sublimation printing technologies. Thermal transfer uses heat to transfer wax or resin-based ink from the ribbon onto the card surface, while dye sublimation converts solid dye particles into gas that permeates the card material. This dual-technology capability enables high-quality, permanent mono white images suitable for professional identification cards.
Is this ribbon an original Zebra product or a compatible alternative?
