Why Genuine Entrust?
Sigma DS printers use RFID-tagged ribbons and require genuine Entrust supplies. Each ribbon's RFID tag tells the printer which ribbon type is installed, so third-party ribbons will not work. S100 ribbons are the regionalized version distributed through authorized Entrust resellers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which ribbon do I need for dual-sided colour cards?

Does the Sigma DS1 support YMCKT-KT?
No. The DS1 is single-sided only. Use the YMCKT 250 or 500 ribbon instead.
