Description
The Evolis RCT021NAA Signature Panel Ribbon is a specialized printer ribbon designed for creating secure, signable cards with personalized authentication capabilities. This premium ribbon applies a white, textured panel specifically engineered to accept signatures from ballpoint pens and permanent markers, creating a professional signature field similar to those found on credit cards and official identification.
How do I use the RCT021NAA signature panel ribbon?
- First print: Print the card with all standard information and graphics using your standard printer ribbon. The signature panel works well with a standard K panel on the back of a double sided ID card. If using a color ribbon with overlay, you'll need to configure your printer settings to avoid applying the overlay to area where the signature panel will be placed.
- Card Design: In your card design software, designate a specific area where you want the signature panel to be applied. These are typically designed as white rectangular sections with a border and text prompt like "Sign Here" or "Authorized Signature."
- Second print: Run the same card through the printer again with the signature panel ribbon installed to apply the white, textured signature area only to the designate location or locations.
- Signature Panel Application: The ribbon applies a specially formulated white panel with a textured surface only to the specific areas defined in your template. The rest of the card remains unchanged.
- Finishing: Once the signature panel is applied, the card is ready for signing. The cardholder can sign the panel with a standard ballpoint pen or permanent marker, creating a tamper-evident signature field.
- Security Feature: Unlike regular printed areas, the signature panel creates a permanent bond with the ink from pens, making signature removal or alteration evident and helping prevent fraud.
Compatible with Evolis Primacy and Zenius printer models (not compatible with Primacy 2), this genuine Evolis consumable ensures optimal performance and reliability. The signature panel adheres firmly to card surfaces while providing the perfect texture for capturing written signatures. Ideal for membership cards, employee IDs, payment cards, and credential verification applications, the RCT021NAA ribbon helps organizations enhance security while enabling physical signature authentication on their printed cards.
