Print Ribbon
Depending on the printer model, print ribbon is available in one of the following formats:
 A replaceable roll that you install on the print ribbon cartridge. The ribbon kit includes the
print ribbon, a cleaning card, and a replaceable cleaning roller. For best results, run a cleaning
card and replace the cleaning roller with each new print ribbon.
 A prefilled print ribbon cassette. The cassette is all-in-one, one-time-use print ribbon,
cleaning roller, and ribbon cartridge. The kit includes the ribbon cassette and a cleaning card.
Run the cleaning card before installing a new ribbon cassette.
Color Print Ribbon
Color print ribbon is available in either full-panel or short-panel options. Both full-panel and
short-panel print ribbons use the following color panels: Y (yellow), M (magenta), C (cyan/blue),
K (black), and T (topcoat). Ribbons without a T (topcoat) panel are available for printers that have
the optional laminator installed.
Full-Panel Color Print Ribbon
Use full-panel print ribbon when the card design calls
for color printing on the entire card.
Short-Panel Color Print Ribbon
Use short-panel print ribbon when only a portion of the card
design calls for color. For example, a card design may have a
color photo on the top or left of the card, and black text on the
bottom of the card. The color area for short-panel ribbon is
either 1.57 inches (40 mm) or 1.47 inches (37.5 mm), depending on the ribbon configuration. The
ymc panels of short-panel ribbon are approximately half the length of a full card.
When you print with short-panel print ribbon, you define the location of the color area in the
card design. Color printing begins when the software detects a color pixel and continues for the
length of the ymc panels.
