The \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"190\"\u003eBlackFLEX\u003c\/b\u003e ribbon uses a specialized ink formulation that expands your printing capabilities, letting you print crisp text onto rough, textured, or non-PVC surfaces like paper, wood-fibre, ABS, and PET blanks where standard ink would smudge or fail to adhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDoes this ribbon print in full colour or greyscale?\u003c\/b\u003e No. This is a solid black monochrome ribbon. It functions by transferring dense black resin ink onto your selected card material wherever text, shapes, or lines are arranged in your card layout software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWill this ribbon fit the first-generation Evolis Primacy or Zenius?\u003c\/b\u003e No. The RCT219NAAA ribbon is built for the core cartridge chassis of the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"141\"\u003eEvolis Primacy 2\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"162\"\u003eEvolis Zenius 2\u003c\/b\u003e models.

Instead of advancing a full card’s length of film for every single-sided print, the mechanism only feeds the exact amount of film required for the width of your text layout (plus a tiny 7mm gap). This ensures you achieve the full 1000 print capacity regardless of your layout size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow should I store this specialized ribbon?\u003c\/b\u003e To preserve the performance of the heat-resistant ink, store unused rolls inside their original, unopened packaging in a cool, dry room (ideally between 5°C and 25°C). Keep them safely away from high humidity, direct sunlight, or chemical solvents, and aim to use the ribbon within one year of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evolis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43223765549117,"sku":"RCT219NAAA","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/5020\/files\/RCT219NAAAEvolis.jpg?v=1779465790","url":"https:\/\/www.pos-hardware.co.uk\/products\/evolis-rct219naaa-blackflex-monochrome-ribbon-1000-prints","provider":"Pos-Hardware Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
