The IDP Smart 659198 Gold Ribbon brings a metallic finish to plastic card production — the kind of detail that elevates a standard ID or membership card into something that feels considered and deliberate. Using monochrome resin dye, it delivers clean single-line artwork and sharp text in a warm gold tone, with the consistency you'd expect from a dedicated resin ribbon across a full run of cards.

At 3,000 prints per roll, it covers serious volume without frequent changeovers. A cleaning roller is included, which helps maintain print head condition and keeps output quality steady throughout the roll's lifespan. Manufacturer part number 659198 — worth noting when ordering to ensure compatibility with your IDP Smart printer.

Gold monochrome ribbons suit a specific purpose well: award cards, premium membership credentials, event passes, or any application where a single striking colour does more work than a full-colour print. It's a practical choice for organisations that want a distinctive finish without the cost of full-panel YMCKO printing.
