Datacard 532000-053 black ribbon

Datacard 532000-053 black HQ ribbon

The Datacard 532000-053 black HQ ribbon is an Entrust Datacard monochrome supply with the documented 1,500-image legacy SP and 1,700-image CD800 ratings. Match the exact supported printer and firmware, and confirm the supplied kit contents before ordering.

Match the reference and output

Entrust’s legacy SP/SP Plus supply table gives a 1,500-image rating for this reference. Check the exact supported SP model and required firmware before ordering.

The CD800 supply sheet lists this reference at 1,700 images. The rating is therefore model/document dependent rather than one universal finished-card quantity.

Monochrome output is for single-colour artwork. Check the intended stock and image contrast, and verify machine readability where the design includes a barcode.

Supplies and maintenance

Confirm the supplied ribbon kit and cleaning components with ACB. Follow the printer guide when loading the roll and cleaning the card path; do not substitute a similar-looking ribbon or assume compatibility with Sigma printers.

Datacard 532000-053 black HQ ribbon: buying questions

How should I compare the published rating?

The legacy SP table and CD800 sheet give different ratings for this reference. Keep the printer model beside the capacity figure in your purchasing record, then confirm the supplied roll and intended job rather than using one number for all configurations.

What else should I check for a repeat order?

Record the full reference, print colour, printer model and confirmed kit contents. Check card contrast and the driver’s monochrome settings with a sample. Follow the model’s loading and maintenance procedure, and order any separately required cleaning supplies.

How can I prepare a repeat card-printing job?

Keep the approved artwork, card stock and printer settings with your supply record. Include the number of printed faces and any sample cards needed for setup. Check remaining ribbon and the current availability before committing to the production schedule.

Check the complete item description and selected order quantity in your basket. A ribbon yield is a production rating, while the quantity ordered is the number of supplied items or sets. Keep those two figures separate in purchasing notes.

Ordering the Datacard 532000-053 black HQ ribbon

Identify each printer in the organisation’s stock record and retain the complete ribbon label with its model details. This helps the person preparing the next order distinguish similar cartridges, print colours and ribbon generations. Use the printer guide for loading and routine maintenance.

Compare the separate Datacard 532000-004 white ribbon as a different listed offer; check compatibility before choosing an alternative. For help identifying your replacement supply, contact ACB with the printer model and current ribbon label.
