Evolis R5H204A100 1/2 YMCKO Color Ribbon (Primacy 2 & Zenius 2)

Product Description 
The Evolis R5H204A100 1/2 YMCKO color ribbon is a genuine Evolis High Trust® consumable designed for cost-effective, full-color ID card printing. Engineered specifically for Evolis Primacy 2 and Zenius 2 printers, this ribbon delivers vibrant color images, sharp text, and a protective overlay while maximizing efficiency and reducing cost per card.

This ribbon features a half-panel YMCKO configuration, meaning the yellow (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C) panels cover half the length of the card, while the black resin (K) and overlay (O) panels cover the full card. This design is ideal for cards that include a color photo on one portion of the card and black text or barcodes across the entire surface, helping extend ribbon yield and lower overall printing costs.

Perfect for employee badges, student IDs, access control cards, and membership cards, the R5H204A100 provides professional-quality results with excellent durability. The overlay panel adds a protective layer to each card, helping guard against fading, scratches, and everyday wear.

Designed for seamless performance, this ribbon includes smart ribbon technology for automatic recognition and easy installation, ensuring consistent print quality and minimal downtime.
