It provides a cost-effective solution for printing single-color text, barcodes, and images on plastic ID cards. This ribbon is essential for deployments requiring clear, legible identification details without the need for full-color graphics, such as employee badges, visitor passes, or access control cards.

Compatibility

This ribbon is specifically engineered for use with the HID DTC4500e card printer. It is not compatible with other HID printer models or third-party card printing systems. Ensure your printer model is DTC4500e before purchasing to guarantee proper functionality and print quality.

Installation Notes

Operating temperature for optimal performance is between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). The ribbon utilizes a SmartScreen graphical display for user-friendly operation and status monitoring. Ensure the printer is clean and the ribbon is loaded correctly according to the DTC4500e user manual to prevent print defects or damage.
