The Evolis RCT016NAA is a premium metallic resin ribbon designed to add a luxurious, high-end finish to your plastic cards. This Metallic Gold ribbon is the professional choice for organisations looking to produce prestigious cards that stand out, providing a brilliant reflective sheen that is far superior to standard non-metallic yellow tones.

As a genuine Evolis High Trust® consumable, the RCT016NAA ensures that gold text, intricate logos, and decorative borders bond perfectly to PVC cards. The result is a crisp, smudge-resistant, and durable finish that immediately conveys a sense of quality and exclusivity to the cardholder.

Maintenance Advice

To maintain the highest print standards and protect the longevity of your thermal printhead, it is highly recommended to perform a cleaning cycle using a genuine cleaning kit every time you replace the RCT016NAA ribbon. This prevents metallic residue or dust from accumulating, which could interfere with the precision of future print jobs.
