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 panelâ€) 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.
