Learn MoreA Zebra KdO ribbon is used for printing monochrome cards with a clear overlay. The black d stands for dye sublimation so two different printing processes are used with KdO ribbonsdye sublimation for the black panel and thermal transfer for the clear overlay. The dye sublimation process allows you to print on a grey scale, creating shading and shadows and are great for printing black and white images or logos.
