Evolis RCT018NAA Scratch-Off Ribbon (1,000 Prints)

Evolis RCT018NAA scratch-off ribbon for card codes

The Evolis RCT018NAA scratch-off ribbon applies a grey, slightly silvery coating that the cardholder can scratch away. It is used to cover information such as a gift-card value or a confidential code until the holder reveals it. The published nominal rating is 1,000 prints per roll.

Check the printing platform and sequence

The manufacturer chart lists RCT018NAA for original Zenius and Primacy printers and approved related configurations. Primacy 2 has the separate RCT218NAAA scratch-off reference. Confirm the exact code, model and driver workflow before ordering.

Plan the underlying information and the covering area together. Keep the coating within the intended reveal zone and assess a complete sample before a batch is produced. Check that the coating covers the detail as required and can be removed without making the revealed information unreadable.

Choose compatible cards and plan consumption

Evolis specifies suitable PVC or composite cards for this process. Compare our blank white PVC cards after checking the printer's permitted stock, finish and thickness. Confirm the surface and workflow if you plan to add the coating to a preprinted card.

The scratch-off ribbon is continuous. Actual yield depends on the size and layout of the coated area and the supported ribbon-saving settings. Use the nominal 1,000-print figure as a planning reference, then allow for setup samples and the intended treatment of each card face.

Evolis RCT018NAA scratch-off ribbon questions

Does it print the hidden number as well?

Prepare the number or artwork using the appropriate separate printing step and compatible supplies. This ribbon adds the scratch-away coating over the specified area. Check the complete production sequence for your printer.

Is the coating the same as a signature panel?

A signature panel creates a writable surface. For that purpose, compare the RCT021NAA white signature-panel ribbon. Select the consumable for the way the customer will use the finished card.

How can I verify the application?

Read the Evolis consumables chart and scratch-off datasheet. Follow the loading and cleaning instructions, or ask ACB about the proposed card design. The coating conceals a printed area; software permissions and code redemption are separate parts of the application.
