Patented Ribbon Saving Feature
ID Card printers incorporate ink ribbon panels and during printing, ink from the panel is transferred to the card to form an image. The area of a panel used for such transfer is equal to the area of the color image. For instance, if the color image is half the size of the card, then only a half portion of the panel is "used" and the remaining half panel remains unused. Normally, after a card is printed, this unused portion of the panel is wasted and is not available for printing the next card. The ColorX C9610 Printer uses patented technology, which enables use of the unused portion of the panel to print another card. Therefore, the cost of printing can be significantly lower. This novel RibbonMiser™ technology can not only save up to 50% of printing costs, but also reduces wastage and thus saves on natural resources.
