Evolis Ribbon YMCKO R5F202E100 for 100 card prints

Evolis Ribbon YMCKO R5F202E100 for 100 card prints is a color transfer ribbon designed to produce up to 100 full-color cards using YMCKO panels (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black and Overlay). Developed for compatible Evolis card printers, this ribbon enables single-sided, continuous-color printing combined with a clear protective overlay that increases surface durability and resists wear from handling and environmental exposure.

Advantages

The YMCKO R5F202E100 ribbon provides predictable color reproduction across photographic images and graphics while including a clear overlay panel for surface protection. It supports short-run color production with consistent print quality for each card. The integrated black panel allows for sharp text and barcodes, and the overlay layer helps protect printed elements against abrasion, fading and minor moisture contact.

Suitable for

• ID and employee badges produced in small batches
• Membership and loyalty cards with full-color designs
• Access cards that require readable text and barcodes
• Short-run event or visitor cards where surface protection is desirable

How to use

Install the Evolis YMCKO R5F202E100 ribbon according to your printer manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the ribbon is seated correctly and the printer cover is closed before starting a print job.

Usage recommendations

Store unused ribbons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use within the manufacturer’s recommended shelf life.
