Evolis RCT217NAAA Metallic Silver Ribbon FAQs
Get answers to common questions about the Evolis Monochrome ID Card Printer Ribbons.
Which printers are compatible with the Evolis RCT217NAAA metallic silver ribbon?
The Evolis RCT217NAAA metallic silver monochrome ribbon is compatible with the Evolis Primacy 2, Evolis Zenius 2 Classic and Evolis Zenius 2 Expert ID card printers.
Please check your printer model before ordering, as Evolis ribbons are designed for specific printer models and are not automatically compatible with all Evolis printers.
How many cards can the Evolis metallic silver ribbon print?
The Evolis RCT217NAAA metallic silver 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 design. When printing on both sides of a card, each side uses part of the ribbon’s capacity.
What can I print with a metallic silver monochrome ribbon?
This ribbon prints in one metallic silver colour and is suitable for names, text, numbers, logos and simple line graphics. It does not produce full-colour or photo-quality images.
Can the metallic silver ribbon print on dark or pre-printed cards?
Yes. The ribbon can personalise compatible PVC and composite cards, including coloured and pre-printed card designs. Metallic silver is particularly effective against darker backgrounds, where it creates a strong premium-looking contrast.
Is metallic silver ribbon printing the same as silver foil?
No. The RCT217NAAA uses thermal-transfer printing to apply metallic silver 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.
Is this a genuine Evolis ribbon?
Yes. The RCT217NAAA 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.
