The YMCKOO color ribbon is a popular ribbon choice for card printers used in various industries, such as healthcare, finance, hospitality and more. It is designed to print full-color images, text and graphics on PVC cards, with added protection.
What is a YMCKOO Ribbon?
A YMCKOO color ribbon is a five-panel color ribbon designed for dye-sublimation printers. The letters YMCKOO stand for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black (K), Overlay and Overlay. These panels are arranged in a specific order, each contributing to the final image. The first three panels (Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan) mix to produce a wide range of colors.
The fourth panel (Black or “K”) is used for text and fine lines. The “K” refers to an old industry term for “Key” meaning it is the layer providing the most detail or the outline of the print, which in traditional printing was usually a black ink layer. The two Overlay panels provide a protective layer over the entire image, making it more durable and resistant to fading and scratches.
The YMCKOO color ribbon is essential in producing high-quality images, text, and graphics on PVC cards. It ensures that the printed image is sharp, vibrant and long-lasting. Using a high-quality YMCKOO color ribbon will produce more detailed and lifelike images and make the printed card more visually appealing. In addition, it increases the durability of the printed card, making it more resistant to fading, smudging and scratching.
The YMCKOO color ribbon is also designed to be easy to use. It is easy to install and replace, and most ID card printers will alert you when the ribbon needs to be changed. This makes it simple to maintain your printer and ensure it functions at its best.
What does the Second Overlay Panel Do?
The dual overlay panels on the YMCKOO ribbon also provide added benefits for security purposes. One of the overlay layers can be used to apply UV effects easily, while the other overlay layer fully protects the card. This feature allows for an added level of security to the printed card, ensuring that the card is not only visually appealing, but also visually more secure.
Overall, the double layer of overlay on the YMCKOO ribbon offers increased protection and security benefits without compromising the quality of the printed cards. If you are looking for a high-quality ribbon with excellent printing quality and durability, the YMCKOO ribbon is a perfect choice for a compatible card printer, like the BadgePass NXTElite.
