20 Section 4: Ribbons and Print Media
Digital Label and Decal Press 2 UserÕs Manual
Each ribbon has a length of 105 meters, which allows you to print up to 200 sheets
worth of output. The maximum printable area for these ribbons is 11.71Ó x 17.3Ó
(297 x 439mm). All #100-Series ribbons must be used only in conjunction with the
#100-Series plain paper label stock which is distinguished by a
GREEN-and-WHITE
package cover sheet (see Part E of this section for more print media information).
#200-Series Ribbon — Dye-Sublimation Print Method
The #200-Series Ribbon utilizes what is called a dye-sublimation print method and
is distinguished by its
GRAY cores. This ribbon is designed to print onto special
dye-receptive polyester label stock and produces durable labels and decals that are
color-accurate when used with the optional color matching software.
This ribbon is in a convenient paneled format which includes the three process
colors of yellow, magenta, and cyan, along with a clear overlay panel which makes
printed images more durable. This means you can automatically print continuous-
tone process color images with no dithering. Due to its precise color matching
ability and its true photo-quality output, this ribbon is the most popular of the
print ribbons.
The #200-Series ribbon provides exactly 50 sheets worth of output and has a
maximum printable area of 11.71Ó x 17.3Ó (297 x 439mm). This ribbon can be used
only in conjunction with the special #200-Series dye-receptive polyester label stock
which is distinguished by a
GRAY-and-WHITE package cover sheet (see Part E of
this section for more print media information).
NOTE: The #200-Series Dye-Sublimation Ribbon can also be used with the #300-Series Vinyls
which offer the benefit of greater conformability. Note, however, that dye-sublimation
printing on #300-Series Vinyl is slightly less durable than on the #200-Series White
Polyester. If maximum print quality and durability are required, use the #200-Series Dye-
Sublimation Ribbon with the #200-Series White Polyester.
#300-Series Ribbons — Resin Thermal Transfer Print Method
#300-Series Ribbons utilize what is called a resin thermal print method and are
distinguished by their
WHITE cores. These ribbons are designed to print onto vinyl
label stock and produce the digital pressÕ most durable, longest lasting form of
output.
Resin ribbons are available in both a convenient 3-color paneled format and in a
variety of spot colors. The paneled ribbon allows you to automatically print full
process color images. The spot color ribbons allow you to print fast, one-color jobs.
Please note that process color output from the paneled ribbon will dither. Due to
the nature of resin inks, resin ribbons produce very durable output that can be used
in more challenging environments.
The #300-Series paneled ribbon provides 50 sheets worth of output while the spot
color ribbons produce up to 200 sheets. All resin ribbons have a maximum
printable area of 11.71Ó x 17.3Ó (297 x 439mm). These ribbons can be used only in
conjunction with the #300-Series vinyl label stock which is distinguished by a
BLACK-and-WHITE package cover sheet (see Part E of this section for more print
media information).
For current selection and availability on all ribbons, please contact the
manufacturerÕs Supplies Department or your nearest reseller.
