The SD160 card printer features system-matched Datacard patented ribbons that activate additional features exclusive to Entrust Datacard. Upon installation, the Datacard proprietary ribbons enable all enhanced product features that help you print high-quality cards more easily. When a genuine Datacard ribbon is loaded into an SD160 card printer, the driver automatically adjusts printer settings to match the ribbon type & helps ensure excellent image quality on the cards. The printer & supplies then collectively track ribbon consumption & notify you of an upcoming ribbon replacement. Full-color ribbons provide vibrant, life-like images & detail.
