Fargo 45014 YMCKO Half-Panel Color Ribbon w/ Cleaning Roller
Reduce printing costs without sacrificing quality with the Fargo 45014 YMCKO Half-Panel Color Ribbon. Designed for Fargo DTC1000 and DTC1250e printers, this ribbon is ideal for cards that require full-color images in a limited area—such as ID photos—while keeping the rest of the card simple.
The half-panel YMCKO configuration prints full-color (yellow, magenta, cyan) on up to half the card length, while the black resin panel prints sharp text and barcodes across the entire card. A clear overlay panel protects your cards from wear and fading. An integrated cleaning roller removes dust and debris before printing, helping maintain consistent print quality and extend printhead life.
Perfect for employee badges, student IDs, and access control cards, the Fargo 45014 offers a cost-effective solution for high-quality card issuance.
