Zebra ZXP Series 3 Ribbons

Every genuine Zebra ribbon for the ZXP Series 3 and ZXP ix Series 3 card printers is listed here, in monochrome, full colour and specialist panel versions. Which ribbon you need comes down to what you print and how many cards you want between ribbon changes.

Monochrome ribbons handle plain text and barcodes at low cost. The black ZXP Series 3 ribbon (800033-801) gives 1000 images. The ix Series 3 black ribbon (800033-301) doubles that to 2000. Single-colour rolls in red (800033-802), gold (800033-806) and silver (800033-807) also run to 1000 images each, useful for membership tiers or accent branding.

Full-colour printing uses a YMCKO ribbon, at 200 images on the ZXP Series 3 (800033-840) and 280 images on the ix Series 3 (800033-340). YMCKOK ribbons add a second black panel for printing on both sides, giving 165 images (800033-848) or 230 on the ix version (800033-348). The greyscale kdO ribbon (800033-850) gives 1000 images for grey-shaded artwork under an overlay. The black krO ribbon (800033-860) gives 500 images with the same overlay panel.

Photo ID and access badges want a YMCKO or YMCKOK colour ribbon. Staff or visitor cards carrying only a name and barcode run happily on black. If you are unsure which panel configuration matches your card design or your exact printer model, the Plastic ID team will check it with you before you order so the ribbon fits first time. Send us your printer details or the part number on your old roll and we will point you to the correct ribbon.
