Available colors include:
When you use most monochrome-only print ribbons, use a printhead cartridge designed for monochrome
printing for optimum results. For most card designs, you can print with a Black HQ ribbon using a color
printhead. When you use a color ribbon that includes a K (monochrome or black) panel, use a color
printhead cartridge. See Printhead cartridge for details.
Supply roll storage
Follow these guidelines when storing supply rolls:
• The print ribbon maintains its quality for about a year. For optimal card quality, purchase and store
quantities that you can use up in less than a year.
• The print ribbon and card stock might require secure storage and tracking. Follow your policy for storing
and tracking the supplies used to make cards.
• Choose a location away from direct sunlight, with a temperature between 32° F and 77° F or between
0°C and 25° C. A humidity range from 40% to 60% (non-condensing) is recommended.
• Supply rolls should be at room temperature when they are installed in the printer and used. If supplies
are stored in a cooler environment than the printer, allow supplies to reach room temperature before
using.
• If the printer will not be used for an extended period of time, remove supplies from the printer and store
them with new supplies.
