So that you can be assured that you only see the printer ribbons that are compatible with your specific printer model.


IDP Smart Ribbon Types


IDP ribbons come in different variations to help you create the design you require. For printing requirements with only one colour, such as text or line art, monochrome printer ribbons feature a single colour panel, whilst full colour ribbons (also known as YMCK) allow you to create vibrant graphics like photos.

Specialist ribbons add security features like scratch off panels or holograms, and can be used to print on top of your colour design for additional data safety.

Single Colour
Single Colour

Printer ribbons with a single colour panel are called monochrome, and these can be red, black, green, silver, or even specialist ribbons such as signature panels, ideal for printing block elements.
Full Colour
Full Colour

Full colour ribbons, used for producing colourful graphics and photos, contain a minimum of four panels. These are yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K), heated to create different shades.
Specialist
Specialist

Anything other than standard colour panel ribbons is considered a specialist ribbon. These allow you to add security features and other elements such as holograms and scratch off panels.

Quality on a Budget


IDP Smart printers are ideal for businesses who have small print requirements and are restricted to a budget.


All IDP Smart printer models are dye sublimation printers (also known as direct-to-card). This technology is ideal for less complex designs and users looking for lower cost of ownership.


Routine Maintenance For Cleaner Prints


To improve the output of your printer and increase its lifespan, we strongly recommended running a cleaning cycle before inserting a new ribbon.

With dedicated maintenance kits designed to remove any dust and residue, you can ensure your printers are crystal clear every time.
