The table below is a guide to selecting the best dye-film to use for any intended application.
* Ribbon Panel Layout Key: Y=yellow, M=magenta, C=cyan, K=resin, O=overcoat (No Colour)
Note:
300YMCKO dye-film is generally the appropriate choice for colour printing with both
single-sided and double-sided (duplex) printers.
250YMCKOK dye-film, for duplex models only, is more economic when printing in colour
on the front side and black on the rear.
1000K & 600KO dye-film – where cost is critical, monochrome printing is a fraction of the
cost of colour printing.
