Fargo 84052 YMCKK Color Ribbon (500 Prints)
Produce high-quality, dual-sided ID cards with the Fargo 84052 YMCKK Color Ribbon. Designed for Fargo HDP5000 and HDPii retransfer printers, this ribbon delivers vibrant full-color images on the front of the card and sharp black text or barcodes on both sides.
The YMCKK panel configuration includes yellow, magenta, and cyan panels for full-color printing, along with two black resin panels—one for front-side detail and one for reverse-side printing. This makes it ideal for applications requiring full-color credentials with additional black text, numbering, or barcodes on the back.
Used with HDP retransfer film, the Fargo 84052 produces true edge-to-edge printing with enhanced durability, making it perfect for government IDs, corporate badges, and high-security credentials.
