DTC4500e Card Printer User Guide, PLT-01669, 1.0
1.4 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.
1.4.1 Printer Components: Print Ribbons
The Card Printer utilizes both dye-sublimation and/or resin thermal transfer methods to print
images directly onto blank cards. Because 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
