Evolis RCT016NAA Metallic Gold Ribbon FAQs
Get answers to common questions about the Evolis Monochrome ID Card Printer Ribbons.
Which printers are compatible with the Evolis RCT016NAA ribbon?
The Evolis RCT016NAA metallic gold ribbon is compatible with the original Evolis Primacy and Evolis Zenius ID card printers. It is not compatible with the newer Primacy 2 or Zenius 2 models. Please check your printer’s full model name before ordering.
How many cards can the Evolis metallic gold ribbon print?
The Evolis RCT016NAA ribbon is rated for up to 1,000 prints per roll. The actual number of cards produced can vary depending on the size and layout of the printed design. When printing on both sides of a card, each printed side uses part of the ribbon’s capacity.
What can I print with a metallic gold monochrome ribbon?
This ribbon prints in one metallic gold colour and is suitable for names, text, numbers, logos and simple line graphics. It does not produce full-colour images or photo-quality printing.
Can the metallic gold ribbon print on dark or pre-printed cards?
Yes. The RCT016NAA ribbon can personalise compatible coloured and pre-printed plastic cards. Metallic gold is particularly effective against darker backgrounds, where it creates a strong, premium-looking contrast.
Is metallic gold ribbon printing the same as gold foil?
No. The RCT016NAA uses thermal-transfer printing to apply metallic gold details directly onto the card. It creates a metallic finish but will not have exactly the same mirror-like or embossed appearance as traditional hot-foil printing.
What is the difference between the RCT016NAA and RCT216NAAA ribbons?
Both ribbons produce metallic gold printing, but they are designed for different printer generations. The RCT016NAA is compatible with the original Evolis Primacy and Zenius, while the RCT216NAAA is designed for the newer Primacy 2 and Zenius 2 printers. The ribbons are not interchangeable.
Is this a genuine Evolis ribbon?
Yes. The RCT216NAAA is a genuine Evolis High Trust® ribbon, designed to deliver consistent print quality and reliable performance.
Is the ribbon easy to install?
Yes. The ribbon is supplied in a cassette for straightforward installation. Compatible Evolis printers automatically recognise and configure Evolis High Trust ribbons once installed.
