Common Questions
What does "YMCKOK" mean?
YMCKOK refers to the six panels of the ribbon: Yellow, Magenta, Cyan (for front color), first K (Black resin for front text/barcodes), Overlay (protective layer for front), and second K (Black resin for back-side printing). This configuration is perfect for professional dual-sided ID cards.
Is Specialist ID an authorized Evolis dealer?
Yes, Specialist ID is an authorized Evolis dealer with direct access to genuine Evolis ribbons and consumables. We stock fresh inventory, provide expert technical support, and maintain strong relationships with Evolis to ensure you receive authentic consumables with full manufacturer backing and warranty protection.
Is this ribbon compatible with my Evolis Zenius or Primacy printer?
No, the Evolis R3314 YMCKOK ribbon is NOT compatible with Evolis Zenius, Primacy, or Primacy 2 series printers. It is designed for older Evolis dual-sided models like the Dualys, Quantum, and Securion. Using an incorrect ribbon type can cause print issues and may damage your printer.
How many cards can I print with one R3314 ribbon?
You will get 200 dual-sided cards per ribbon (full color front with overlay, black back). This makes it ideal for medium-volume card programs and provides excellent cost-effective value for professional dual-sided card production.
Can I use this ribbon if I only need to print on one side of the card?
While you can use it for single-sided printing, it would not be the most cost-effective option. The R3314 is designed for dual-sided cards with full-color front and black back. If you only need single-sided full-color with overlay, a YMCKO ribbon would be more efficient as it wouldn't waste the second black panel.
What is the typical shelf life of this ribbon?
When stored in a cool, dry environment (5-25°C and 30-80% RH), Evolis R3314 ribbons have a shelf life of up to one year if unopened. Once opened, the shelf life reduces to about 3 months under proper storage conditions. Proper storage is crucial for optimal print quality.
Does this ribbon come with a cleaning roller?
Evolis YMCKOK ribbons, including the R3314, typically do not include a cleaning roller directly attached. Cleaning rollers are usually a separate consumable. It's highly recommended to use Evolis cleaning kits regularly to maintain print quality and printer longevity.
Why choose genuine Evolis ribbons?
Genuine Evolis High Trust ribbons are formulated to produce sharp, bright images and clear text while optimizing printing performance. Non-genuine ribbons may lead to poor printing quality, printer dysfunction, and risk voiding the printhead warranty. Authentic ribbons ensure consistent professional results.
