Contemporary ink tubes (used from the Riso RZ logo onwards) use an RFID sticker on the end of the tube to record basic ink information (color, type, volume remaining, expiration date, etc.). Each drum holds matching values so that it can recognize the tube—and notify the operator if the wrong tube is inserted in the drum.
