Printer Components: Dye-Sublimation/Resin Ribbons

The Dye-Sublimation/resin print ribbon combines the yellow (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C) dye-sublimation panels with a resin black (K) panel.

By combining both types of ribbon panels, this ribbon can be used to print full-color, photo- quality images with the dye-sublimation panels along with sharp, black text and bar codes with the resin black panel.

A clear overlay panel (O) is also included on most ribbons to protect the dye-sublimation images. Dye-Sublimation images must have an overlay panel applied to them, or they will quickly begin to wear or fade.
