Zebra Printer Ribbons

Zebra card printers require specialized Zebra printer ribbons to function properly. To maximize printed card quality and printer durability, use only genuine Zebra printer ribbons. Using non-Zebra certified supplies can void your printer’s warranty.

Zebra Color Ribbons

Zebra color ribbons consist of yellow (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C) panels for printing a full spectrum of colors by combining the colors using varying degrees of heat. The (K) panel is a black resin panel, typically used for printing text and barcodes and the (I) panel is used to allocate areas of the card where dye is to be inhibited, such as signature panels, mag-stripes, or foil applications.

Zebra ZXP8 Retransfer Film

In conjunction with a Zebra ZXP8 color ribbon, the ZXP8 Retransfer Film enables the Zebra to print a combination of full-color images and one-color text, barcodes, or UV. This Retransfer Film is required for printing cards with the Zebra ZXP8. Retransfer printers print your card image to the underside of the retransfer film. The printed film is then fused to the card using a thermal bonding process for flawless results

  • High resolution 304 dpi images and text
  • Over the edge printing – this printer will guarantee that your edges print perfectly since the film fully covers the card
  • 1,250 images per roll

Zebra Laminates

A Zebra Laminate provides a layer of protection over your printed cards, making them more durable and providing protection from wear and fading. A printer with lamination capability is needed in order to use laminate. ZXP7 laminates come in Top or Bottom configurations based on your Single and/or Dual laminate module. Laminate options include clear layers and holographic elements for added security.
