How White Monochrome Thermal Transfer Works
1. Colored Card Preparation
Dark-colored PVC card enters Primacy 2 printer where white thermal transfer ribbon prepares to apply high-contrast printing over colored surface
2. Thermal Activation Process
Primacy 2 printhead applies precise heat to white dye ribbon, causing white ink particles to melt and prepare for transfer to colored card substrate
3. White Ink Transfer
Heated white dye transfers directly from ribbon to colored card through thermal transfer process, creating permanent bond between white ink and card surface
4. Contrast Formation
White ink creates sharp, high-contrast text and graphics against dark background, ensuring excellent readability and professional appearance for identification purposes
5. Quality Verification
Completed card displays crisp white printing with excellent contrast and definition, suitable for professional applications requiring clear text visibility on colored backgrounds

Common Questions
What is a monochrome white ribbon and why would I use it?
A monochrome ribbon prints in a single color, which is a more cost-effective option than a full-color ribbon. A white monochrome ribbon is specifically used to print on cards with dark or colored backgrounds, as white ink would not be visible on a standard white card. This creates high-contrast, professional results on colored card stock.
Is Specialist ID an authorized Evolis dealer?
Yes. Specialist ID is an authorized dealer for Evolis ID printers and consumables in the United States, providing genuine ribbons with full manufacturer support and warranty protection.
How many cards can I print with one RCT215NAAA ribbon?
You can print up to 1,000 single-sided cards with one ribbon. This high yield makes it extremely cost-effective for applications requiring white text, logos, or barcodes on colored card backgrounds, significantly reducing your per-card printing costs.
What printers is this ribbon compatible with?
This ribbon is designed exclusively for the Evolis Primacy 2 ID card printer. It is not compatible with other Evolis models, including the original Primacy, due to different cartridge systems and thermal specifications.
Can I use this ribbon on standard white cards?
No, the white ink would not be visible on a standard blank white PVC card. This ribbon is intended for use with cards of a dark or contrasting color to ensure the print is clearly visible and creates the desired high-contrast effect.
Is white monochrome ribbon good for printing barcodes?
Yes, monochrome ribbons, including the white ribbon, are excellent for printing barcodes and QR codes because they provide the high contrast and sharp edges required for reliable scanning. The white on dark background creates optimal contrast for barcode readers.
How can I tell if my printer is an original Primacy or a Primacy 2?
You can check the model name on your printer itself. Ribbons for the Primacy 2 are not compatible with the original Primacy printer due to different cartridge systems. If you are unsure, contact an authorized Evolis reseller for assistance in identifying your printer model.
What card colors work best with white monochrome printing?
White monochrome printing works exceptionally well on dark colors like black, navy blue, dark red, dark green, and purple. The darker the background color, the better the contrast and readability of the white text and graphics will be.
Does this ribbon work with dual-sided printing?
Yes, if your Primacy 2 is equipped with dual-sided printing capability, you can use this ribbon to print white content on both sides of colored cards, or combine it with other ribbon types for different effects on each side of the card.
How durable is white monochrome printing on colored cards?
The thermal transfer process creates very durable prints that are scratch-resistant and fade-resistant. The white ink bonds permanently to the colored card surface, ensuring long-lasting professional appearance even with frequent handling in daily use applications.
