Evolis RCT016NAA metallic gold ribbon for plastic cards

The Evolis RCT016NAA metallic gold ribbon adds single-colour metallic text, line work and simple graphics to suitable plastic cards.

Evolis RCT016NAA metallic gold ribbon compatibility

Evolis lists RCT016NAA for original Zenius and Primacy printers, with further approved configurations in its consumables chart. Primacy 2 and Zenius 2 use the separate RCT216NAAA reference for metallic gold. Check the full code on your existing ribbon and the printer model before ordering.

A metallic finish can change with the card background and lighting. Prepare a sample of the intended design to assess fine text and contrast. The ribbon produces flat printed artwork; raised lettering and a holographic design involve different production choices.

Choose stock and estimate the batch

Evolis specifies suitable PVC or composite cards for its standard monochrome ribbons. Browse our blank plastic cards to choose the background, then confirm the finish and thickness for your printer. Smooth, clean stock helps you assess the metallic detail consistently.

The Evolis RCT016NAA metallic gold ribbon is a continuous monochrome supply. Its nominal 1,000-print capacity varies with the amount of ribbon advanced for each design and the faces printed. A small name area uses a different length from a card-wide graphic where the printer's supported ribbon-saving feature is used.

Evolis RCT016NAA metallic gold ribbon questions

Can it print a full-colour photograph?

It prints one metallic gold colour. Choose a model-compatible colour ribbon when photographs and multi-colour logos form part of the print job. For a silver version on the original printer platform, compare the RCT017NAA metallic silver ribbon.

Is it suitable for a barcode?

Check the completed card with the intended reader before production. Reflective metallic artwork and the chosen background can affect scanning. Ask ACB about a suitable black ribbon when reliable machine reading is the main requirement.

What should I check when replacing a roll?

Match RCT016NAA exactly, follow the printer's loading and cleaning instructions, and check the driver settings. Refer to the Evolis compatibility chart and standard monochrome ribbon information, or contact ACB for help choosing supplies.
