ID Card Printer Ribbons

We supply id card printer ribbons in both colour and monochrome formats, some variants also providing a metallic finish. As with most printers, it is always best to purchase the ribbon / consumables that have been specifically designed for that particular printer, as this ensures that the finish of the badge will be of the very finest quality and that it will last that bit longer too. In all cases the colours are applied to the badges by mean of thermal transfer or dye sublimation (where basically the ink is evaporated into a gas, this then sinking into / onto the surface of the badge), the 300dpi printing system being more than capable of producing lifelike photographs and vivid logos and type.
