A. ABOUT RIBBONS
As described in Section 1-A, your card printer utilizes both dye-sublimation and
resin thermal transfer printing methods. 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 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
= Dye-Sublimation Black Panel
= Resin Black Panel
= Clear Protective Overlay Panel
