Ribbons - Where Available are in Bold Type and represent Our
best value.
Our patented
high-density dyes produce the most vivid colors you'll see from
any photo ID ribbon. They deliver true-to-life flesh tones, more
accurately match Pantone? colors, and reduce dye migration by
33%.
The
high-sensitivity black resin dye in our photo ID ribbons prints
sharp, bold text and graphics. It also produces ANSI grade A bar
codes for superior reliability in scanning.
SmartCardSupply.com Generic Ribbons are unconditionally
guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship and are
guaranteed to work flawlessly with your printer.
What about my
printer warranty? My manufacturer says that they will only
honor the warranty if I use their ribbon. (These types of
"Tie-In" sales provisions are specifically disallowed
within the United States by the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act - so the manufacturer cannot
enforce this provision of their warranty as such restrictions
are patently ILLEGAL.)
Why are Generic Ribbons so much less
expensive? Card Printer manufacturers have adopted
the "razorblade" model for marketing their products.
This is where you develop a patentable component of how a
particular consumable part fits within or works with your
product. You can then prohibit others from selling
compatible products that violate your patent and thus charge
a higher price for your consumables and make substantial
profit margins. Gillette has been very successful with
this model in the razor industry - hence the models name.
The only problem with this model is that
patents only offer this protection for a limited time.
To get around this, the manufacturer must substantially
change either the look, feel, or other specifications of
their product to apply for a new patent. This is why
shaver manufacturers come out with a new model with more
blades, wider cutting surface, pivoting heads, etc... each
year or so. They can then discontinue their "old
models" and continue to reap substantially higher un-earned
profits from consumers pockets for the "new consumables".
The same principle applies in the card
printing industry. Card printer manufacturers are
constantly changing their product or "tweaking" the design
of the ribbon cartridges for the purposes of patent
protection of the most profitable part of their business.
With our proven generic printer ribbons - you can get the
same high quality result that you are used to and pay
substantially less.
Please note that all
PVC card products, smart cards, and ID Card Printer ribbons are
non-returnable.
