The Evolis RT5F011EAA is a high-performance, five-panel colour ribbon engineered specifically for the Evolis Avansia retransfer printer. The YMCKK configuration consists of Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and two Black panels. This specialised setup is the professional standard for dual-sided card production, allowing for full-colour photographic printing on the front of the card and crisp black text, barcodes, or terms and conditions on the reverse.

Because the Avansia utilizes retransfer technology, this ribbon ensures "over-the-edge" coverage. This process eliminates the white border found in traditional printing and is the ideal solution for cards with embedded electronics, such as contact and contactless smart cards.

Printer Compatibility

This ribbon is a genuine Evolis High Trust® consumable, exclusively compatible with:

• Evolis Avansia

• Evolis Avansia Lamination

Key Features & Benefits

• Efficient Dual-Sided Printing: The additional Black (K) panel allows for the personalisation of the back of the card without wasting the colour panels, making it highly cost-effective for double-sided designs.

• Over-the-Edge Finish: Guarantees 100% card coverage with a professional, glossy finish that mirrors the quality of a credit card.

• Superior 600 DPI Resolution: Formulated to take full advantage of the Avansia’s high-resolution printhead, ensuring ultra-sharp fine lines and lifelike photo reproduction.

• Increased Durability: The retransfer method places the printed image beneath a protective film, making the card significantly more resistant to daily wear, fading, and scratching.

• Automatic Synchronisation: Equipped with an RFID chip, the ribbon is instantly recognised by the printer to ensure perfect colour calibration and easy monitoring of remaining capacity.

Mandatory Usage Requirement

Please note that the RT5F011EAA is a retransfer ribbon and must be used in conjunction with Evolis Retransfer Film. The printer transfers the image to the film first before bonding it to the card. Ensure you have the compatible clear or holographic retransfer film in stock to complete your printing setup.

Typical Applications

• Secure Employee IDs: Vibrant photo identification on the front with secure access data or barcodes on the back.

• Government & National IDs: High-definition security printing for driving licences and voter cards.

Storage Advice

To ensure optimal performance, store your RT5F011EAA ribbons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and dust. We recommend using the ribbon within one year of purchase for the best colour results.

• Smart Card Personalisation: Perfect for cards with internal chips or antennas that require a flat, borderless finish.

• Premium Membership Cards: Provides a high-end, durable finish that reflects the quality of your organisation.
