Description
This genuine HID FARGO ECO half-panel YMCKO ribbon is built for DTC4500e card layouts that need color only in a defined area, such as a portrait photo or small logo. The half-panel color section helps reduce ribbon use on pre-printed cards, while the resin black panel handles names, ID numbers, barcodes, and line art. A clear overlay helps protect printed color areas from fading. With a 1000-image yield and cleaning roller included, it is a practical option for efficient personalization.
