FAQ
What printers is the MA300YMCKO ribbon compatible with?
This ribbon is specifically designed for Magicard Enduro series ID card printers. It is engineered to work optimally with these printers, ensuring proper fit, reliable performance, and maintaining printer warranty coverage. The compatibility is limited to the Enduro series, so it should not be used with other Magicard printer models or brands.
How many cards can I print with one MA300YMCKO ribbon?
The MA300YMCKO ribbon has a typical print yield of 300 cards. This yield applies to full-color printing using the YMCKO color configuration. Actual yield may vary slightly based on specific card design elements and printer settings, but 300 cards represents the standard expected performance for planning consumable requirements.
What does YMCKO mean in the ribbon color configuration?
YMCKO represents the five color layers in this dye sublimation ribbon: Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and Overcoat. The first four colors combine to create full-color images, while the Overcoat layer provides a protective coating that makes printed cards more durable and resistant to scratching, fading, and general wear. This configuration enables professional-quality color reproduction on ID cards.
Can I print on both sides of cards with this ribbon?
Yes, the MA300YMCKO ribbon supports printing on one or both sides of cards when used with compatible Magicard Enduro series printers. This flexibility allows for sophisticated card designs with information, photographs, or security features on both the front and back of identification cards. The dye sublimation process bonds color into the card substrate on each printed side.
