Q. How does Ribbon Saver work for monochrome ribbons in the SP55 Plus card
printer?
A. When a Datacard monochrome ribbon is installed in an SP Plus Series monochrome card
printer, the printer is automatically updated on the ribbon color, printer settings, and
remaining yield. At this time, Ribbon Saver is automatically enabled and less ribbon is
consumed with each printed image. Instead of consuming one full call length of ribbon for
every printed image, the printer uses a minimal amount of ribbon, the distance from the left
hand edge of the card to the right hand edge of the image, plus a small amount in
between. The result is an overall ribbon savings from 10 to 66 percent over competitor
ribbons.
Q. Can I use color panel ribbons in a monochrome printer?
