Since the dye-sublimation and the resin thermal transfer print methods each provide their own unique benefits, print ribbons are available in resin-only, dye-sublimation-only and combination dye-sublimation/resin versions. To make it easier to identify the print ribbons, a letter code has been developed to indicate the type of ribbon panels found on each ribbon:

Suitable cards must have a polished PVC surface free of fingerprints, dust or any other types of embedded contaminants. In addition, cards must have a completely smooth, level surface in order for the printer to achieve consistent color coverage. Certain types of Proximity cards have an uneven surface that will inhibit consistent color transfer. Certain types of smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards surface which also results in poor color transfer. The UltraCard product line, available exclusively as part of HID Global FARGO brand secure card issuance solutions, has a long standing reputation among dealers and end-Users for consistent quality in construction. In addition to blank stock, the UltraCard line is available in a variety of configurations for magnetic stripe, custom holograms and other additional anti- counterfeiting feature UltraCard Premium is the preferred card for Direct-to-Card (DTC) applications that require a higher quality card. The UltraCard Premiums composite material construction provides for maximum durability, flexibility and card life, with optimal resolution print quality for lamination and fluorescent panel ribbon printing applications. UltraCard PVC cards are medium-durability cards for a glossy, photo quality finish. These cards are manufactured to ensure clean, scratch-free cards for high-quality prints and extended printhead life.
