Ribbons Eltron Privilege card printers require Eltron ap-
proved ribbons. Eltron’s resin thermal transfer
and die sublimation media are specifically de-
signed for Privilege card printers. (See Appen-
dix B.)
Thermal Transfer (Resin) - All print stations
can use Thermal Transfer ribbon. Resin offers
more durability than dye sublimation, with
greater resistance toscratches andUV-induced
fading.
Dye Sublimation - Printing requires dye sub-
limation ribbons with either black or Cyan (C),
Magenta (M) and Yellow (Y) panels. These rib-
bons have Overlay varnish panels to add UV
protection and durability. Color ribbons have
black thermal transfer resin panels for bar code
and other solid imaging.
