Monochrome Print Ribbon Kits
The following monochrome print ribbon kits are available:
Alternating black and topcoat panels (KT ribbon)
Black with two topcoat panels (KTT ribbon)
The printer applies black and two topcoat panels on the same side
of the card.
When the YMCKF-KT and YMCKL-KT ribbons are used in a YMCKFT or YMCKLT
panel configuration, they do not require a laminator, since the topcoat (T) panel
provides protection for the color printing.
The KTT ribbon type is not supported in OpenCard-enabled systems. It uses only
one T panel, instead of both.
