Smart ribbons in the truest sense

When a Datacard

®

ribbon is loaded into the

SP35 or SP55 card printer, the printer driver

automatically adjusts printer settings to match

the ribbon type, helping to ensure the best

possible image quality on the cards. The printer

and supplies continue working together to track

print ribbon consumption and notify you of an

upcoming ribbon replacement. 

Our SP Series card printers feature Datacard

®

proprietary ribbons designed specifically for the

SP35 and SP55 card printers. When the printer

recognizes that a Datacard

®

ribbon is installed,

all enhanced product features are enabled and

successful card printing can begin. The printer

will only print color images when Datacard

proprietary color ribbons are installed. Datacard

is your exclusive source for proprietary ribbons

for the SP35 and SP55 card printers.

Remarkable image quality

Datacard

®

color panel ribbons for the SP35 and

SP55 card printers tap into our exclusive

Advanced Imaging Technology

to give you

extremely crisp, vivid photos, graphics and text

on full- or one-color cards. On-screen image

controls enable smooth, uniform solid

backgrounds, improved color matching with

cameras and clearly defined edges and fine text.

We also offer a range of high-quality Datacard

monochrome ribbons for reliable single-color

card printing.

Maximum ribbon yields 
help reduce costs

Datacard ribbons for the SP35 and SP55 card

printers offer high-yield rolls. Each ribbon 

is longer, allowing for more printed images 

per roll. 

A lower yield YMCKT ribbon is also 

available for customers with lower-volume

printing needs.

The SP35 and SP55 card printers also feature

our exclusive ribbon saver feature. When

printing with Datacard monochrome ribbons,

the printer advances the ribbon just enough to

print an image, rather than the traditional full

card width advancement. This feature can

potentially double and even triple the standard

yield of your Datacard monochrome ribbons!

Datacard color panel ribbons also take

advantage of the ribbon saver feature. The SP35

and SP55 card printers include smart features

that automatically identify the color panel

ribbon without the need to advance the ribbon,

saving one complete panel set during each

printer initialization.

Installation is a snap

If you think operating an SP35 or SP55 card

printer is easy, try replacing the supplies. Print

ribbons and cleaning sleeves snap right into

place with no tools or additional adjustments

required. Printheads practically align

themselves. Simply open the printer’s cover,

swap old for new and resume printing.

Convenient supply kits 

Datacard Group understands that producing

quality card images takes a combination of

quality ribbons and a well-maintained, quality

printer. One of the simplest ways to help keep

your printer maintained properly is to perform

regular cleaning operations.

For the SP35 and SP55 card printers, we have

simplified this process by including an

isopropanol cleaning card and adhesive

cleaning sleeve in every box of ribbons, all

ordered using a single item number. Now, when

it is time to replace your ribbon, you will

always have cleaning supplies available to help

maintain optimum performance. Additional

cleaning supplies and accessories can also be

ordered separately, when more frequent

cleaning intervals are required.
