The key to keeping your Zebra card printer running at its best is to use genuine Zebra printer parts and supplies – and ribbons are one of the most important supplies you can purchase.
Zebra offers two types of printer ribbons:
- Zebra TrueColors Printer Ribbons – deliver vibrant color images and life-like flesh tones for exceptional photo ID quality. They also allow you to print sharp monochrome bar codes and text so your data can easily be seen.
- Zebra iSeries Printer Ribbons – an upgraded version of their TrueColors ribbon series, iSeries ribbons use advanced RFID technology to give you:
- Automatic ribbon detection and print driver configuration
- Optimal color output
- Ribbon image counter and ribbon-low notification
Your choice of ribbon, however, depends on these three variables:
1. Your Zebra card printer model – different models are compatible with different ribbons. Using IDCardGroup.com’s Find My Ribbon tool, simply select your printer make and model, click Find My Ribbon, and receive a list of all compatible printer ribbons – including hard-to-find ribbons for older and discontinued models. Choose from color, monochrome, and overlaminate ribbons.
The Find-My-Ribbon tool is located in the right column of every page – so it’s always a click away!

2. The type of cards you will be printing – do they need clear overlay protection? Are you printing single sided, full color, monochrome, or dual sided?
3. How many plastic cards you will be printing – each Zebra card printer ribbon has a specific number of plastic cards it will print. Ranges can be anywhere from 170 images per roll to 3,000 images.
