Color Dye

Sublimation

Color imaging involves three passes of cards

under a print head. Yellow, magenta, and cyan

dyes diffuse from corresponding ribbon panels

onto the cards in measured quantities for each

dot of a 300 dpi matrix. Each ribbon panel can

produce 32 dye densities on a dot-by-dot ba-

sis. Therefore, the range of colors for each dot

is 32.7K.

Gray-Scale Dye

Sublimation

Gray scale imaging involves a single pass of

cards under the print head. Measured quanti-

ties of black dye diffuse from the ribbon onto

the cards on a dot-by-dot basis. Each card dot

can have 32 different densities.

Resin Thermal

Transfer

Monochrome ribbons and the monochrome

panels of multiple-panel ribbons produce solid

imaging by transferring a very durable resin

material onto cards. Resin either transfers or

not on a dot-by-dot basis. Unlike dye sublima-

tion, no in-between conditions exist to produce

a gray scale within each dot. Particularly Bar

Codes, but also Text, Lines, and Rectangles of-

ten get composed using solid images. Also

Thermal Transfer ribbons come in a variety of

colors other than black. However, bar code

readers need black bar codes.

Overlay Varnish

Thermal Transfer

Ribbons with Dye Sublimation panel(s) typi-

cally also have an Overlay Varnish Thermal

Transfer panel. These include YMCKrO,

YMCKrOKr, and KsO ribbons. Both color and

gray-scale dyes fade with exposure to ultravio-

let radiation. A coating of overlay varnish gives

images a much longer life. Notably, only dye

sublimation images require this protection.

Resin images hold their color without the pro-

tection of overlay varnish. P500 Overlaminate

ribbons with die-cut patches or transfer mate-
