Zebra TrueColours™ Card Printer Printing Ribbons

Zebra's TrueColours (formerly Eltron TrueColours) line of high quality ribbons are designed to 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 to 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 eliminates having to stock an additional item/part number for a separate take-up-core.) This unique 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.

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 with an easy label noting Zebra's part number in numeric and barcode form.

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 (formerly Eltron) 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. Many types of panels are available (a few have a clear protective overcoat (O) panel which helps to protect your card image).

• 6 Panel ribbon (YMCKOK) is ideal for printing a full color card on one side and monochrome on the back. For use with the P400, P420, P500, P520, P600, P720.
• 5 Panel ribbon (YMCKO) is designed for full color printing on one or two sides. It can be used with all of the Zebra (formerly Eltron) color printers.
• 5 Panel ribbon  (YMCKK) is designed for use with the P500/P520 & P720 printer/laminates with protection from a laminate patch. A clear protective overcoat (O) panel is not necessary because the laminate patch provides sufficient protection.
• 4 Panel ribbon (YMCK) is designed for use with the P500/P520 & P720 printer/laminators with protection from a laminate patch. A clear protective overcoat (O) panel is not necessary because the laminate patch provides sufficient protection.
• 3 Panel ribbon (YMC) is designed for printing full color on one station; clear protective overcoats or laminates can be applied at the second station (P500/P520, P600, & P720 models) if needed.
• 2 Panel black dye-sublimation ribbon (K dye + O) is one panel each of black and one panel of clear protective overcoat. This ribbon is optimal for printing photo quality, black and white images.
• 2 Panel black resin ribbon (K resin + O) is one panel each of black and one panel of clear protective overcoat. This ribbon provides the least expensive way to print high quality, monochrome badges with bar codes.
