ID Card Printers have a limited optimal shelf life. After two years, the quality of a ribbon begins to deteriorate. As the quality of the id printer ribbon deteriorates, so will the quality of the printed product. An older ribbon also runs the risk of breaking, and thus being unusable all together. It is best to not overstock ribbons, and only purchase as many id printer ribbons as you will need for the next calendar year. Proper storage of unused printers is paramount. Printer Ribbons should always be in a sealed container so as to protect them from particulates in the air that will damage the ribbon and affect the quality of printed images. Installation of a printer ribbon should be well documented in the manual of your printer. Follow the directions carefully so as to properly install your printer ribbon. You should always use ribbons that are specifically designed for your id card printer.
