Evolis R2012 Blue Monochrome Ribbon – 1,000 Prints – For Pebble, Dualys & Quantum Printers

The Evolis R2012 is a high-performance blue monochrome resin ribbon designed for the professional personalisation of plastic cards. This ribbon is an essential consumable for users of legacy Evolis desktop printers who wish to move beyond standard black printing to better match corporate branding or to implement a colour-coded identification system.

Offering a substantial yield of 1,000 prints per roll, the R2012 provides a cost-effective solution for medium-to-high volume card production. The premium resin formulation ensures that blue text, intricate logos, and graphics are rendered with exceptional clarity and a professional, smudge-resistant finish that stands the test of time.

Printer Compatibility

The R2012 is a versatile ribbon compatible with several generations of established Evolis printers:

• Evolis Pebble (Pebble 2, Pebble 3, and Pebble 4)

• Evolis Dualys (Dualys 2 and Dualys 3)

• Evolis Quantum and Quantum 2

• Evolis Securion

• Evolis Zenius and Primacy (Note: Please ensure your firmware is compatible with 'R' series ribbons)

Key Features & Benefits

• Vibrant Blue Output: Specifically formulated to deliver a consistent and professional blue tone that enhances the aesthetic of staff IDs and membership cards.

• 1,000 Card Capacity: A high-yield roll that increases operational efficiency by reducing the frequency of ribbon changes during large print runs.

• Superior Resin Adhesion: The ink is engineered to bond securely to PVC, composite PVC, and PET cards, providing excellent resistance to fading and daily wear.

• High-Definition Detail: Perfectly suited for printing fine lines, small font sizes, and detailed company logos with absolute precision.

• Reliable Performance: Designed to maintain steady tension throughout the printing process, significantly reducing the risk of ribbon snapping or mechanical errors.

Typical Applications

• Corporate Identity: Align your staff identification badges with your organisation’s primary branding and colour scheme.

• Security Colour-Coding: Utilise blue printing to distinguish between specific visitor types, membership tiers, or departmental access levels at a glance.

• Retail & Leisure Loyalty: Create distinctive, branded cards for customers without the higher cost of a full-colour YMCKO ribbon.

• Student Identification: A durable and easily recognisable choice for schools, colleges, and universities.

Maintenance Advice

To ensure the best possible print quality and to protect the longevity of your printer’s thermal printhead, it is highly recommended to perform a cleaning cycle every time you replace the R2012 ribbon. This prevents dust and debris from causing streaks or unprinted spots on your cards.
