The Evolis R2016 Gold Monochrome Ribbon is specially designed to deliver high-quality, metallic gold printing on ID cards. This ribbon can produce up to 1,000 prints per roll and is compatible with a range of Evolis printers, including the Pebble, Dualys, Quantum, and Securion models. It is particularly effective for adding luxurious, detailed single-color elements to pre-printed or colored cards, enhancing their aesthetic appeal and visibility. However, it's important to note that, like most monochrome ribbons, it requires a contrasting card stock color for optimal visibility; it will not show effectively on gold or similarly colored backgrounds. We have tested and love how the gold ribbon looks with solid black and also metallic flake silver card stock.
