1.3 Functional Specifications
This card printer utilizes two different, yet closely related printing technologies to achieve its remarkable
direct-to-card print quality for dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer.
1.3.1 Printer Components: Print Ribbons
The card printer utilizes both dye-sublimation and/or resin thermal transfer methods to print images directly
onto blank cards. Since the dye-sublimation and the resin thermal transfer print methods each provide their
own unique benefits, Print Ribbons are available in resin-only, dye-sublimation-only and combination dye-
sublimation/resin versions.
To make it easier to remember which print ribbons are which, a letter code has been developed to indicate
the type of ribbon panels found on each ribbon. This letter code is as follows:
= Dye-Sublimation Yellow Panel
= Dye-Sublimation Magenta Panel
= Dye-Sublimation Cyan Panel
= Resin Black Panel (Premium unless otherwise stated)
= Clear Protective Overlay Panel
= Fluorescing Panel
