ribbon
The Dye-Sublimation/resin print ribbon combines the yellow (Y), magenta

full-color, photo-quality images with the dye-sublimation panels along
with sharp, black text and bar codes with the resin black panel.
A clear overlay panel (O) is also included on most ribbons to protect the
dye-sublimation images. Dye-Sublimation images must have an overlay
panel applied to them or they will quickly begin to wear or fade.

text and bar codes. Both infrared and visible-light bar code scanners can
read bar codes printed with resin black.
An overlay panel (O) is included to protect the full-color dye-
sublimation printing.
