Color Ribbons

Using IDP’s Genuine color ribbons, the SMART printers will produce industry-leading image quality. Color images are composed of three primary colors (yellow, magenta, and cyan) which can create up to 16.7 million colours. IDP’s FINE™ image technology makes it possible to optimize these colors to meet the strictest of corporate identity’s color requirements.

Most of IDP’s color ribbons also offer a true resin black (K) panel as well as a durable varnish (O) panel. The K panel is used for text or barcodes and the O panel washes over the full card to protect against dye-migration, fading, and scratches. To further increase your cards’ durability, we recommend laminating your cards with the SMART-50L, 51L, or -70L laminating printers.

Using only IDP’s Genuine color ribbons is essential to the quality of your printed cards and maintaining the long life of your printer.
