Overview
IDP 659385 KO Ribbon, 600 Prints
The IDP 659385 is a two-panel KO ribbon for SMART-31 and SMART-51 ID card printers. The black resin (K) panel prints crisp, solid black text, barcodes and one-color logos, and the clear overlay (O) panel then seals the card to protect it. It suits black-only cards, blank or pre-printed, that still need to last.
Each roll prints up to 600 single-sided cards. Printing both sides uses a K and O set per side, about 300 two-sided cards. The roll loads into the reusable ribbon cartridge that stays in your printer, and a new disposable cleaning roller comes in the box; replace the roller each time you load a new ribbon. SMART printers read an RFID tag on genuine IDP ribbons to recognize the ribbon type.
If you do not need the overlay, the IDP 659367 black resin ribbon gives 1,200 prints per roll. SMART-31 and SMART-51 ribbons do not fit the SMART-21, which takes its own ribbons, or the older SMART-30 and SMART-50. Specialist ID is an authorized IDP dealer.
