Zebra TrueColours™
"i" Series
Card Printer Printing Ribbons
Zebra Card Printers (formerly Eltron Card
Printers) carries two lines of Zebra TrueColours (formerly Eltron
TrueColours)
high quality print ribbons: standard ribbons and i series ribbons.
Standard print ribbons are designed to work with older generation
printers and current P-series printers. i series print ribbons are
designed to work with all new i series printers. Standard print ribbons
are shipped in black Zebra TrueColours boxes and i series print ribbons are
shipped in blue Zebra TrueColour boxes.
All
Zebra TrueColours ribbons create
brilliantly clear and vivid images that are smudge and scratch
resistant. Zebra TrueColours ribbons offer enhanced print character
durability, and the 24-bit color and gray scale images show exceptional
clarity in all images. The ribbons are designed with a unique silicone
based "back-coating" which allows the ribbon to pass smoothly over the
printhead and helps to extend printhead life. Each roll incorporates an
easy load, patented design, grooved ribbon supply core and take-up core.
This patented grooved ribbon core design helps eliminate any slippage at
the ribbon take-up spindle, and a new core installs in only one
direction for proper ribbon orientation.
i series print ribbons incorporate a new
high color ribbon formulation and RFID technology. This new ribbon
formulation provides fuller, richer, more vibrant colors. The ribbon is
also wider for better edge-to-edge quality printing. It is designed for
increased operating and density range that helps reduce potential ribbon
wrinkle. RFID technology allows the printer to communicate with the
ribbon to automatically configure driver settings and provide real time
messaging (ribbon type, ribbon count, etc.) P200 series ribbons also
incorporate the new high color formulation and RFID technology.
Each ribbon roll is shipped in a
protective package for extended shelf life: rolls are packaged in a
sealed pouch to prevent dust particles from attaching to the ribbons,
then placed in an individually sealed box. Value packs (bulk packaging)
also available.
Zebra
TrueColours (formerly Eltron
TrueColours) Monochrome Resin Ribbons
utilize "thermal transfer printing technology. " A process by which
heated printhead is used to transfer a digitized image from the ribbon
to the surface of the card. Monochrome ribbons can be used on all Zebra
and Eltron ID card
printers. They are available in a variety of colors, including black,
red, green, blue, gold, silver, white and scratch-off gray.
Zebra TrueColours
(formerly Eltron TrueColours)
Multi-Panel Ribbons are developed
with the newest technology in dyes available. Multi-panel ribbons
utilize dye-sublimation, which means the color dye is vaporized into a
gaseous state and then diffused onto the cards at the printhead station.
