FAQ for Markem SmartDate X65 Thermal Printer Ribbons

What ribbon sizes are compatible with Markem SmartDate X65?

The Markem SmartDate X65 accepts ribbon widths from 0.80" ~ 2.20" (20mm ~ 55mm). Standard lengths include 1100 meters. Choose a ribbon at least 0.5" wider than your labels for optimal coverage.

What types of ribbons work with Markem SmartDate X65?

The Markem SmartDate X65 supports four ribbon types:

  • Wax: Most economical. Best for paper labels and indoor use.
  • Resin-Enhanced Wax: Moisture-resistant for longer-lasting prints with better resistance to abrasion. Can print on both paper and synthetic material.
  • Wax-Resin: Better durability and scratch resistance. Good for synthetic labels.
  • Resin: Maximum durability for harsh environments and polyester labels.

Choose based on your label material and durability needs.

How do I calibrate the Markem SmartDate X65?

If your Markem SmartDate X65 is skipping labels or printing incorrectly, calibration is needed:

  1. Turn off the printer
  2. Press and hold FEED button while turning on
  3. Wait for the status light to flash
  4. Release - the printer will feed labels to calibrate

This teaches the printer to detect label size and gaps. Calibrate when changing label sizes.
