Evolis R2131 Black Monochrome Ribbon – 3,000 Prints – For Quantum & Quantum 2 Industrial Printers

The Evolis R2131 is an industrial-strength black resin ribbon designed specifically for high-volume card production. As a dedicated consumable for the Evolis Quantum series, this ribbon is the professional choice for organisations that require a reliable, high-speed solution for printing sharp text, detailed logos, and high-density barcodes.

With an exceptional yield of 3,000 prints per roll, the R2131 is built to handle large-scale card issuance with minimal intervention. The high-quality resin formulation ensures that every character is crisp and every barcode is perfectly scannable, providing a durable finish that resists smudging and fading on standard PVC cards.

• University Enrolment: A reliable solution for large educational institutions during peak student registration periods.

Maintenance Advice

Due to the high-volume nature of the Quantum system, maintaining a clean card path is essential. To prevent debris from damaging the printhead, it is highly recommended to perform a full cleaning cycle every time a new R2131 ribbon is installed.
