Printer Components: Resin-Only Print Ribbons
Resin-only Print Ribbons consist of a continuous roll of a single resin color. No protective
overlay panel (O) is provided since resin images do not require the protection of such an
overlay. The following resin-only Ribbon types are available for use with both DTC400:
Type Description
Standard Resin Black
(K) (provides 1,000
prints)
This Ribbon provides high resin durability ideal for most
general-purpose monochrome ID card applications. Resin black
bar codes are readable by both infrared and visible-light bar
codes scanners.
Premium Resin Black
(K) (provides 1,000
prints)
This Ribbon provides maximum resin durability ideal for
applications such as access control where cards are repeatedly
swiped through a Magnetic Stripe reader. Resin black bar codes
are readable by both infrared and visible-light bar codes
scanners.
(Note: Using a Premium Resin Black Ribbon will provide better
photo realistic output.)
Colored Resin
(provides 1,000 prints)
Several colored resin Ribbons are available in a variety of colors
for customizing or color-coding resin-only ID cards.
Metallic Resin
(provides 1,000 prints)
Metallic resin Ribbons are available for printing resin images
with a unique metallic sheen.
