🎯 RETRANSFER EXCELLENCE

Evolis RTCL009NAA Clear Transfer Ribbon for Avansia Series

Premium retransfer technology that delivers over-the-edge printing and superior card protection in one solution. This clear transfer film enables the Evolis Avansia to achieve photo-quality results with edge-to-edge coverage while providing built-in protective layer for enhanced card durability and professional appearance.

Unlock the full potential of retransfer printing with 1,000 single-sided or 500 dual-sided prints per roll of genuine Evolis clear transfer film that enables your Avansia printer to deliver stunning over-the-edge graphics, accommodate uneven card surfaces like smart cards, and provide inherent card protection through advanced thermal bonding technology that creates professional credentials unmatched by direct-to-card methods.

Why Retransfer Technology Wins

  • Eliminates white borders with true over-the-edge printing — Creates full-bleed designs that extend to the very edge of the card, delivering professional aesthetics impossible with direct-to-card technology and setting your credentials apart from standard ID programs
  • Handles smart cards and uneven surfaces flawlessly — Accommodates embedded chips, magnetic stripes, and proximity technology without pressure damage, ensuring your advanced cards maintain functionality while achieving perfect print quality across the entire surface
  • Delivers photo-quality results that impress — Superior image clarity, vibrant colors, and crisp text reproduction through the two-step retransfer process creates professional credentials that enhance your organization's image and credibility
  • Built-in protective layer extends card life — Clear transfer film bonds to the card surface, providing inherent protection against scratches, UV fading, and daily wear without requiring additional overlay materials or processing steps
  • Maximizes production efficiency with high yield — 1,000 single-sided prints or 500 dual-sided prints per roll reduces changeover frequency, minimizes downtime, and provides excellent value for high-volume card production environments
  • Ensures consistent quality every time — Genuine Evolis transfer film maintains optimal performance characteristics, preventing print defects and ensuring reliable operation that keeps your card program running smoothly

Printer Compatibility

  • Evolis Avansia Series Exclusively — Specifically engineered for Evolis Avansia retransfer printers, including both standard and extended versions, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal print quality with your investment
  • Works with YMCK Color Ribbons — Functions in conjunction with Evolis YMCK color ribbons to create the complete retransfer printing solution, with the color ribbon printing onto this film before thermal bonding to the card
  • Not Compatible with Direct-to-Card Printers — This is exclusively retransfer technology and cannot be used with standard direct-to-card printers, ensuring you get the specialized performance benefits only retransfer systems provide
  • Genuine Evolis Engineering — Authentic Evolis consumable designed, tested, and approved specifically for Avansia printers to maintain warranty coverage and ensure consistent, reliable operation
  • Drop-in Installation Design — Simple cassette replacement process minimizes setup time and reduces the potential for installation errors that could impact print quality or damage equipment
  • Temperature and Pressure Optimized — Formulated to work perfectly with Avansia's specific thermal bonding parameters, ensuring proper film adhesion and preventing common issues like bubbling or incomplete transfers
  • Professional Production Environment Ready — Engineered for consistent performance in demanding card production environments, maintaining quality standards across extended print runs and varied operational conditions

How Retransfer Technology Creates Superior Cards

1. Image Creation YMCK color ribbon prints the complete image onto the clear transfer film, creating a mirror image ready for transfer to the card surface
2. Thermal Bonding Heat and pressure permanently bond the image-carrying film to the card surface, ensuring secure adhesion and professional appearance
3. Edge-to-Edge Coverage Film extends beyond card edges during transfer, then trims perfectly to create true over-the-edge printing without white borders
4. Surface Adaptation Film conforms to uneven surfaces like smart card chips and magnetic stripes, ensuring complete coverage and protection
5. Protective Layer Bonded film creates an inherent protective barrier against scratches, UV damage, and wear while maintaining crystal-clear visibility

Common Questions

What is a "transfer ribbon" and how does it work? A transfer ribbon (or retransfer film) is a clear film used in retransfer printers. The color image is first printed by a separate YMCK ribbon onto this film, and then the image-carrying film is heat-sealed onto the card surface. This allows for over-the-edge printing and better image quality. Is Specialist ID an authorized Evolis dealer? Absolutely. Specialist ID is an authorized Evolis dealer with direct access to genuine transfer films and consumables. We maintain fresh inventory, provide expert technical support, and have strong partnerships with Evolis to ensure you get authentic products with full manufacturer backing and warranty protection. How many cards can I print with one RTCL009NAA roll? One roll of this clear transfer ribbon yields 1,000 single-sided cards or 500 dual-sided cards. Which Evolis printers are compatible with this transfer ribbon? This transfer ribbon is specifically designed for use with Evolis Avansia series retransfer printers. Does this transfer ribbon provide card protection? Yes, the clear transfer film inherently provides a protective overlay, shielding the printed image from daily wear, abrasion, and UV exposure, thus extending the card's life. Can I use this with a direct-to-card printer? No, this is a retransfer film designed exclusively for Evolis retransfer printers (like the Avansia). It is not compatible with direct-to-card printers. Why use retransfer printing over direct-to-card printing? Retransfer printing offers superior print quality, the ability to print over the edge of the card, better durability, and the capacity to print on various card materials including uneven surfaces (like smart cards). What are the storage recommendations for this transfer ribbon? For optimal performance and shelf life, store the ribbon in its original sealed packaging, in a cool, dry, and dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It's generally recommended to use within one year.
