returns and see our Zebra (Eltron)
Ribbon Guide
|
|
| For consistent
high-quality output from your Zebra card printer, use Zebra’s TrueColours®
print ribbons. TrueColours ribbons deliver vibrant color photos
and “true-to-life” flesh tones, as well as sharp monochrome bar
codes and text. |
|
Prolong card life
with Zebra’s patented overlay (“O panel”) in the ribbons, which
protects your card against dye migration and abrasions. TrueColours
ribbons are also designed to help extend the life your Zebra card
printer with a unique silicone-based coating that minimizes printhead
debris. Ribbons without this coating allow particulate buildup on
the printhead, which may decrease the life of this critical printer
part.

Monochrome Resin Ribbons |
 |
Zebra TrueColours®
Monochrome Resin Ribbons use “thermal transfer” printing technology,
a process by which a heated printhead is used to transfer a digitized
image from the ribbon to the surface of the card. Monochrome ribbons
can be used on all Zebra card printers. They are available in a
variety of colors including black, red, green, blue, gold, silver,
white and scratch-off gray.

Multi-panel Ribbons |
|
|
Zebra TrueColours®
Multi-panel ribbons are developed with the newest technology in
dyes available. Multi-panel ribbons use dye-sublimation, which means
the color dye is vaporized into a gaseous state and then diffused
onto the cards at the printhead station.

stripe readers. |

Security Featured Laminates
|
 |
Customizable hologram laminates add a unique security feature that makes cards more tamper-resistant and deters fraudulent reproduction of cards. There are various types of holograms available.
|
|
- OVI takes optically variable inks to make up an image or text within the laminate. It will show various color effects as the image is rotated.
- Pixel-Grafx hologram takes state-of-the-art computer graphics with traditional holography to produce “pixilated” imagery. These images or patterns are made up of a series of pixels or dots, which are exposed to laser light at multiple angles to achieve maximum brightness even in ordinary (fluorescent) lighting conditions.
- 2D Hologram is made up of two-dimensional images. The hologram images are assigned different colors and position in one layer. It just has one layer on hologram image, without visual depth.
- 2D/3D Hologram is made up of multiple two dimensional layers with hologram images visually placed one behind another with visual depth to produce an effect of three-dimensional hologram structure. It has very good visual depth between different layers and shininess on first layer.
