How Thermal Transfer Ribbon Technology Works
1. Ribbon Loading
Green resin ribbon loads into Evolis printer with RFID chip automatically communicating ribbon specifications and optimizing thermal settings
2. Card Positioning
Blank card enters print engine and aligns precisely with printhead while ribbon advances to fresh section for optimal transfer quality
3. Thermal Transfer
Heated printhead applies controlled pressure to ribbon, transferring green resin ink directly onto card surface in precise pattern matching design file
4. Ribbon Advancement
Ribbon saver technology advances only 7mm beyond printed area instead of full card width, maximizing efficiency and reducing waste per card
5. Final Product
Finished card features durable, vibrant green graphics with permanent resin bond resistant to fading, scratching, and environmental exposure

Common Questions
What is the difference between part numbers RCT014NAA and other Evolis green ribbons?
The RCT014NAA is specifically designed for Evolis Zenius, Primacy, and Elypso printers with a 1,000-print capacity. It uses premium green resin (RGB 0/114/41, Pantone P356C) with RFID technology for automatic printer recognition and ribbon saver technology for maximum efficiency. Different Evolis printer models require different ribbon part numbers due to varying RFID chip programming and ribbon width specifications.
Is Specialist ID an authorized Evolis dealer?
Yes. Specialist ID is an authorized dealer for Evolis ID card printers and consumables in the United States, providing genuine Evolis High Trust ribbons with full manufacturer support and warranty protection. All ribbons are properly stored and guaranteed fresh for optimal print quality.
How many prints does the RCT014NAA ribbon yield?
Each roll of the RCT014NAA ribbon is rated for 1,000 single-sided monochrome prints. The ribbon saver feature uses only the actual printed surface plus a 7mm jump between cards, maximizing efficiency compared to standard ribbon designs that consume the full width of each card position.
Is the RCT014NAA compatible with all Evolis card printers?
No. The RCT014NAA is compatible exclusively with Evolis Zenius, Primacy, and Elypso card printers. It is not compatible with other Evolis models such as Avansia, Badgy, or Quantum series due to specific RFID chip programming and ribbon formulation requirements unique to each printer platform.
What does Green Monochrome Resin mean and why is it important?
Green monochrome resin is a single-color durable printing formulation that provides superior resistance to smudges, scratches, and fading compared to wax-based ribbons. The specific green color (RGB 0/114/41, Pantone P356C) ensures brand consistency and professional appearance for organizations requiring standardized green credential designs across all print batches and locations.
Can this ribbon print barcodes?
No. Green resin ribbons are not suitable for printing scannable barcodes. Barcodes require black resin ribbons for proper contrast and machine readability. The green ribbon is designed for text, logos, borders, and decorative design elements only. For credentials requiring both barcodes and green elements, use a black monochrome ribbon or a multi-panel YMCKO ribbon.
Can this ribbon be used for full-color printing?
No. As a monochrome (single-color) ribbon, the RCT014NAA prints only in green. For full-color images, photographs, or multi-color designs, a multi-panel ribbon such as YMCKO (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, Overlay) is required. Monochrome ribbons are most cost-effective for personalizing pre-printed cards or printing single-color text and graphics.
What is RFID ribbon technology?
The embedded RFID chip in the RCT014NAA enables automatic ribbon recognition by compatible Evolis printers. When installed, the printer automatically detects ribbon type, color, and remaining capacity, eliminating manual configuration and reducing setup errors. The RFID system also provides accurate supply level monitoring and alerts operators when replacement is needed.
How long can I store unopened RCT014NAA ribbons?
Unopened ribbons can be stored for up to 1 year when kept in proper conditions: temperature 5-25°C (41-77°F), humidity 30-80% RH, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, dust, and chemicals. After opening, use within 6 months for optimal print quality. Ribbons stored improperly or beyond shelf life may produce faded prints, increase printhead wear, and require reprinting.
What applications is the RCT014NAA ribbon best suited for?
The ribbon is ideal for educational institution IDs requiring school color branding, corporate badges with standardized green design elements, membership cards for environmental or sustainability organizations, visitor passes with color-coded security levels, event credentials and access badges, and healthcare facility IDs with departmental color coding. It excels in applications requiring consistent brand-compliant green output without full-color printing costs.
