Print Ribbon
Color printing uses a print ribbon with
three color panels Y (yellow), M (magenta),
and C (cyan). The ribbon also includes a
black (K) panel and a topcoat (T) panel. The
printer applies the color images to the card first, prints black components using
the panel, and then applies the topcoat (T) which helps protect the color image
from damage.
Color print ribbon is available in full panel or short
panel. The color area for short panel ribbon is 1.57
