KdO Ribbon vs KrO Ribbon

KdO ribbons are made up of a black dye-sublimation (Kd) panel, and a thin protective overlay (O) panel. Black dye-sublimation provides full grayscale imaging and is used in printing text, artwork, or in applications that require a black and white photo. The protective overlay increases durability and fade resistance, extending the life of the card. You would use a KdO ribbon to print membership and ID cards that do not require a barcode.

KrO ribbons are preferred when printing readable barcodes, and crisp text. KrO ribbons consist of a black resin (Kr) panel, and a thin protective overlay that protect the card from wear, and fading. They are frequently used to print gift cards, loyalty cards, and membership cards.
