Printer ribbon Zebra 800300-360EM for ZC300 — 200 pages, Black/Cyan/Magenta/Yellow

Zebra 800300-360EM printer ribbon is designed for use with Zebra ZC300 series card printers to produce full-colour PVC cards and ID badges. The thermal transfer ribbon contains four colour panels — black, cyan, magenta and yellow — and yields approximately 200 printed pages per ribbon. It supplies dye panels that deliver photographic-quality images, sharp text and reliable barcodes while helping maintain printer performance through patented ribbon chemistry and reduced printhead buildup.

Advantages

The ribbon offers vibrant colours and accurate skin tones alongside crisp black text and barcodes, suitable for high-quality colour ID production. Patented print ribbon technology reduces residue on the printhead, contributing to longer printer life and more consistent output. Integrated intelligent RFID features enable automated ribbon detection and streamline driver configuration for compatible Zebra printers, reducing setup time and errors.

Suitable for

• On-demand colour ID and membership card printing

How to use

Install the ribbon into a Zebra ZC300 series printer following the printer manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the printer is powered off or in an indicated ribbon-change state before loading. Align the ribbon and panels according to the printer’s guides, close the ribbon compartment, and run a test print to confirm colour alignment and print quality. Replace the ribbon after approximately 200 printed pages or when print density decreases.

Usage recommendations

Store ribbons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve dye stability. Use compatible PVC cards and recommended printer cleaning cycles to maintain printhead condition and consistent print quality. For high-security or high-volume environments, monitor ribbon yield and replace ribbons proactively to avoid unexpected downtime.
