Buyer’s Guide for Selecting the Right Ribbon
Choosing the right ribbon is vital for meeting your specific printing needs. Here’s how to select the most suitable option:- Assess Printing Requirements:
- Determine the need for full-color versus monochrome printing. Full-color ribbons (YMCKO/YMCKOK) are necessary for images and logos, while monochrome ribbons are suitable for text and barcodes.
- Consider Card Usage and Durability:
- For cards that require longer life and frequent handling, opt for ribbons with overlay panels for added protection.
- Budget Constraints:
- Monochrome ribbons are more economical and are a great choice for bulk printing of non-essential graphics.
- Volume of Printing:
- Choose ribbons with capacities suitable for your volume. Large operations might benefit from ribbons with higher capacities to minimize replacements.
- Security Features:
- Utilize the Holokote feature to incorporate customizable watermarks, enhancing card security.
