Q.Why do Datacard→ SP Plus Series print ribbons come in “Ribbon Kits”?

A.We have simplified the supply cleaning and ordering process by including one isopropanol cleaning card and one adhesive cleaning roller in every box of print ribbon. This provides end-users with the convenience of having the cleaning supplies at your fingertips to help maintain the optimum performance of your SP Plus series card printer. We recommend performing a cleaning cycle and replacing the adhesive sleeve each time you load a new print ribbon.

Q.Why are the Datacard→ DuraGard→ laminates used in the SP75 Plus printer called “Virtual

Edge-To-Edge” laminates?

A.While the process for manufacturing old-style laminates has been fine-tuned throughout the years, it still provides a wide variation in how the laminate is applied to the card. This result is a highly- noticeable margin around the card where one can see the edge of the laminate approximately 0.060 inches from the edge of the card. For many customers, this margin is not acceptable.

To respond to this input from our customers, Datacard Group has improved the manufacturing process and application process for DuraGard laminates, and the result is larger laminates that are “virtually” the same size as the printed card. In other words, the size of the laminate is slightly smaller than the size of the card, but the difference is so slight, few will ever notice the difference. This is a competitive advantage for the SP75 Plus printer.

Q. What benefits are available when Datacard→ ribbons are used on the SP75 Plus card printer?

A.All Datacard→ print ribbons for the SP75 Plus card printer are equipped with Intelligent Supplies Technology™. This innovative new technology utilizes a specially engineered RF tag embedded onto the ribbon take-up core. Each RF tag is individually programmed with important information about the ribbon. The SP75 Plus card printer requires the RF tag on the take-up core and the
