YMCK: Full-color ribbon with resin black panel – 750 images. Compatible with: HDP6600. ID card printers typically use ribbons that are made up of different panels for printing colors and providing other functions.

The new FARGO HDP6600 is a high speed dual sided retransfer printer. YMCK ribbons are used for dual-sided printing, with full color YMCK on the front and back side of the card. These ribbons have a shelf life up to one year.

Panels are typically identified by a letter or two with the most common dye sublimation panels being:

• Y = Yellow dye sublimation panel
• M = Magenta dye sublimation panel
• C = Cyan dye sublimation panel
• K = Black resin panel (K = Key = Black)
• O = Overlay panel

The YMC (Yellow, Magento and Cyan) panels are used together for full-color printing and composite black text. For crisp, black text (e.g. for printing barcodes), then a ribbon with a Black resin (K) panel can be used.Other common panels are

• O = Overlay (aka Overcoat) panel for providing a protective finish for added card protection
• T = Topcoat (same as an Overlay panel)
• Uv = Ultraviolet panel for printing text and graphics that can only be seen under an ultra-violet light
• I = Inhibitor panel for restricting where text and graphics can be printed

Another type of ribbon is a “Half-Panel Color Ribbon” where the Yellow, Yellow, Magenta and Cyan panels are half the size of the regular panels but the other panels are full-sized panels (e.g. a “ymcKO” ribbon). These ribbons can provide cost-savings where color is only required on up to half the card with black available for any part of the card).
