The Evolis R2217 is a premium metallic monochrome ribbon designed to add a sophisticated, high-end finish to your plastic cards. This Silver resin ribbon is the professional choice for organisations looking to produce prestigious cards that stand out, providing a brilliant metallic sheen that is far superior to standard non-metallic grey tones.

With an impressive yield of 1,000 prints per roll, the R2217 is a highly cost-effective solution for creating luxury identification. The high-quality metallic resin ensures that silver text, intricate logos, and decorative borders bond perfectly to PVC cards, providing a crisp, reflective finish that is both smudge-resistant and durable.

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 R2217 ribbon. This prevents metallic residue or dust from accumulating and interfering with the precision of future print jobs.
