Card printer ribbon Evolis Advanced Pebble adva118 Metallic Blue — 1000 prints

The Evolis Advanced Pebble adva118 Metallic Blue ribbon is a single-sided color ribbon designed for use with Evolis Advanced Pebble card printers. It provides a metallic blue finish across the full surface of standard plastic cards and is rated for up to 1000 full-card prints. The ribbon is intended for applications where a metallic appearance is required on ID, membership or loyalty cards and is supplied in a cartridge format for straightforward installation and minimal handling.

Advantages

This ribbon delivers consistent metallic blue coverage and uniform color across each print, helping maintain a stable visual identity on issued cards. The cartridge format simplifies replacement and reduces downtime during ribbon changes. Print yield of approximately 1000 full-card prints offers predictable media planning for moderate-volume card issuance. The ribbon is compatible with single-sided printing on supported Evolis Advanced Pebble printers and is produced to meet manufacturer tolerances for color and mechanical fit.

Suitable for

• ID cards requiring a metallic blue background or graphical element
• Membership and loyalty cards with branded metallic accents
• Event passes and temporary badges needing consistent color finish
• Small to medium batch card personalization where single-sided printing is sufficient

• Coverage: full-card, single-sided

How to use

Install the ribbon cartridge into the Evolis Advanced Pebble printer following the printer manufacturer’s instructions for ribbon replacement. Use the printer driver or embedded software to select single-sided printing and the appropriate color profile if available. Load blank cards into the printer’s input hopper, configure print settings such as quality and card orientation, and run a test print to confirm metallic color output and alignment before producing the full batch.

Usage recommendations

Store the ribbon in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve the metallic layer. For consistent results, use cards that meet the printer manufacturer’s specifications and perform periodic cleaning of the print path and rollers. When switching ribbons or media types, run a short set of test prints to verify color and registration.
