IDP SMART 659370 White Ribbon with Cleaning Roller (1200 Prints)

IDP 659370 white ribbon: choosing the right supply

The IDP 659370 white ribbon prints single-colour white artwork using a compatible SMART-31 or SMART-51 card printer. It is intended for designs where white text or line graphics need to stand against the card background. IDP lists a 1,200-print rating and a cleaning roller for this reference.

White artwork for a contrasting card design

Consider this ribbon for names, simple logos or other white details on suitable coloured or preprinted card stock. Contrast matters: white artwork is difficult to see on a plain white face. Test the actual stock and design before committing to a larger run, and check the print surface is approved for your printer.

Match the SMART-31 or SMART-51 supply family

IDP's compatibility guidance groups SMART-31 and SMART-51 supplies together. SMART-21, SMART-70 and SMART-81 use different families. A white ribbon from one of those ranges should not be chosen solely because the colour is the same. Confirm the complete 659370 reference on the replacement roll.

Cleaning and output planning

Fit the included cleaning roller as directed and follow the printer's cleaning instructions. The nominal 1,200-print figure helps with ordering, but actual consumption depends on the print layout and settings. Keep a little capacity available for setup cards rather than calculating a job with no allowance for tests.

Choose supplies for the whole card

If you need black details with a clear overlay, compare the 659385 KO ribbon. For a new card stock choice, browse our blank plastic cards and contact ACB to confirm the colour, surface and thickness. A ribbon adds the printed artwork; any electronic access-control function depends on the card and encoding system.
