Produce vibrant, professional-quality dual-sided ID cards with the Fargo 45210 YMCKOK Color Ribbon. Designed for Fargo DTC4500 and DTC4500e printers, this high-yield ribbon enables full-color printing on the front of the card and crisp black text or barcodes on the back—all in a single pass.
The YMCKOK panel configuration includes yellow, magenta, and cyan panels for full-color images, a black resin panel for sharp front-side text, a clear overlay panel for durability, and a second black (K) panel for reverse-side printing. An integrated cleaning roller removes dust and debris before printing—helping maintain consistent print quality and extend printhead life.
