Entrust 525900-002 Black High Opacity Ribbon (1500 Images)

Entrust 525900-002 black high opacity ribbon

The Entrust 525900-002 black high opacity ribbon provides black monochrome printing with a high-opacity formulation. It is offered here with a nominal 1,500-image rating. Match the exact supply reference and Sigma printer configuration rather than treating every black ribbon as interchangeable.

Choosing this print finish

This high-opacity black supply is the distinct premium black reference in Entrust's Sigma monochrome range. It suits card programmes that specify that formulation for black personalisation. Use the approved reference for the card stock you have tested, rather than assuming that any black ribbon provides the same result.

Compare the closest alternative

Standard/food-safe black 525900-001 is a different reference, while KT 525100-014 adds a separate topcoat panel. Select the format that matches the actual job: the word black alone does not describe the formulation or the whole print sequence. Check a sample before a long production run. See the related ribbon option for its own specification.

Printer compatibility and capacity

Entrust lists this base reference for Sigma DS1 and DS2. Its DS3 supplies sheet uses 525900-002-S100. Confirm the full code on your existing box and printer; regional or channel-specific suffixes matter. The 1,500-image figure is the nominal rating in Entrust's standard DS1/DS2 and DS3 sheets; actual monochrome use depends on the design and ribbon-saving settings. It is not a guaranteed count of finished two-sided cards.

Cleaning and card supplies

Entrust lists a cleaning card and adhesive cleaning roller in each ribbon kit. Follow the printer's replacement instructions. Check card-surface compatibility before printing; ask ACB if you need suitable stock or a reference check. The manufacturer's Sigma supplies guide explains the standard range.
