Evolis RCT012NAA Blue Monochrome Ribbon (1,000 Prints)

Evolis RCT012NAA blue ribbon for single-colour cards

The Evolis RCT012NAA blue ribbon prints blue names, numbers, line work and simple logos on suitable plastic cards. It is useful when the variable information needs one colour, including personalisation added to an approved preprinted design. Its published nominal capacity is 1,000 prints per roll.

Choose the correct blue ribbon generation

The Evolis compatibility chart lists RCT012NAA for original Zenius and Primacy printers, with further approved configurations. Primacy 2 and Zenius 2 use the separate RCT212NAAA blue reference. Check the model and complete code on your current ribbon before replacing it.

A single-colour ribbon suits text and line graphics. For photographs or logos needing several colours in the same print, choose a compatible colour ribbon. If you are selecting a different monochrome colour, compare the RCT013NAA red ribbon for the original platform.

Match the background and estimate output

Evolis specifies suitable PVC or composite cards for its standard monochrome ribbons. Start with blank white PVC cards for a light background, checking the finish and thickness accepted by the printer. Approve a sample if the card already has coloured artwork.

This is a continuous ribbon. The nominal 1,000-print rating varies with the length of the printed area, the supported ribbon-saving settings and the card faces used. Small text personalisation and a full-width design require different amounts of ribbon.

Evolis RCT012NAA blue ribbon questions

Can it produce a particular brand blue?

The ribbon prints its supplied blue colour. Check the finished sample against your artwork requirements before production. A screen preview and the actual result on the chosen card surface can appear different.

Can I print a blue barcode?

Test the completed card with the reader used in your application. Barcode size, contrast and reader technology all matter. Ask ACB about an appropriate black ribbon where the scanning requirement calls for it.

How do I prepare a replacement roll?

Check the reference, follow the printer's loading and cleaning instructions, and confirm the driver settings. Use the manufacturer compatibility chart and standard monochrome ribbon datasheet, or contact ACB for help matching supplies.
