Compatible Printer: Zebra ZC10L at a Glance
The Zebra ZC10L is the industry's premier large-format, direct-to-card printer. It produces edge-to-edge credentials on large-format 5.5″ × 3.46″ (140 mm × 88 mm) plastic cards — significantly larger than a standard CR80 ID card — making it ideal for event badges, conference passes, visitor credentials, and hospitality applications.
The ZC10L supports both full-colour dye-sublimation printing (using the 800010-140 YMCO ribbon) and black monochrome printing (using this 800010-101 ribbon), enabling organizations to print full-colour fronts and sharp monochrome backs in separate passes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many images does the Zebra 800010-101 ribbon print?
The Zebra 800010-101 black monochrome ribbon yields up to 2,000 single-colour images per roll when used in the Zebra ZC10L large-format card printer.
Which printer is the Zebra 800010-101 compatible with?
The Zebra 800010-101 is exclusively compatible with the Zebra ZC10L large-format card and badge printer. It is not compatible with any other Zebra printer model.
What is the Zebra 800010-101 used for?
It is used to print single-colour black content — including barcodes, text, signatures, and back-of-card information — on large-format 5.5″ × 3.46″ plastic cards in the Zebra ZC10L. It is frequently paired with the 800010-140 YMCO colour ribbon when full-colour fronts and sharp monochrome backs are required.
What is the difference between the Zebra 800010-101 and the 800010-140?
The 800010-101 is a black monochrome ribbon that prints 2,000 single-colour images. The 800010-140 is a YMCO full-colour ribbon that prints 400 full-colour images with a protective overlay. Both are for the ZC10L only. Use the monochrome ribbon for text and barcodes, and the YMCO ribbon for photo-quality colour printing.
Why does the monochrome ribbon print 2,000 images vs. 400 for the colour ribbon?
The monochrome ribbon uses just one panel per card (black resin). The YMCO colour ribbon uses four panels per card (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Overlay). Because only one panel is consumed per print cycle, each roll of the monochrome ribbon yields 5× more images.
Is the Zebra 800010-101 the same as the 800011-101?
No. The 800010-101 is for the Zebra ZC10L large-format printer. The 800011-101 is a different product designed for the Zebra ZXP Series 1 printer. These ribbons are not interchangeable. Verify your printer model before purchasing.
What card size does this ribbon print on?
In the Zebra ZC10L, this ribbon prints on large-format plastic cards measuring 5.5 inches × 3.46 inches (140 mm × 88 mm) at 24 mil thickness — considerably larger than a standard CR80 credit-card-size ID card.
