Printer Components: Dye-Sublimation-Only Print Ribbons

Adye-sublimation-only print ribbon is available in a monochrome version. This ribbon consists of dye-sublimation ribbon panels which alternate with a clear protective overlay (O) panel. Dye-Sublimation images must have an overlay panel applied to them or they will quickly begin to wear or fade.

Caution: All color or monochrome dye-sublimation images must have the ribbon's clear overlay panel applied to them. If a protective layer is not applied, the card's dye- sublimation image will quickly begin to wear or fade. Cards printed solely with monochrome resin text, bar codes, or images do not require any type of protective overlay.

•To apply the ribbon's clear overlay panel, select the Printer Driver’s Overlay / Print Area tab. (Note: By default, the Printer Driver is setup to automatically apply the overlay panel for a selected a ribbon type that provides an overlay (O) panel.) (Note: The Printer requires specialized print ribbons in order to function properly.)
