Common Questions
What does YMCKO-K mean and how is it different from YMCKO?
YMCKO-K stands for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, Overlay (for the front) and an additional Black panel (for the back). Unlike standard YMCKO ribbons which print only on one side, YMCKO-K enables dual-sided printing with full-color on the front and black text, barcodes, or graphics on the back, all in a single ribbon pass.
Is Specialist ID an authorized Evolis dealer?
Yes. Specialist ID is an authorized Evolis dealer with direct access to genuine ribbons and consumables. We maintain fresh inventory, provide expert technical support, and have strong partnerships with Evolis to ensure you get authentic products with full manufacturer backing and warranty protection.
How many cards can I print with one R6F203A100 ribbon?
The R6F203A100 YMCKO-K ribbon yields up to 200 dual-sided cards, providing full-color printing on the front and black printing on the back for each complete card.
Which Evolis printers are compatible with this ribbon?
The R6F203A100 YMCKO-K ribbon is specifically designed for the Evolis Primacy 2 ID Card Printer and ensures optimal performance and print quality when used with this model.
Can I use this ribbon for single-sided printing only?
While technically possible, using YMCKO-K ribbon for single-sided printing is inefficient because you would waste the second black panel designed for the back side. For single-sided full-color cards, a standard YMCKO ribbon would be more cost-effective.
What should I do if my printer shows ribbon error messages?
If you see "no ribbon," "ribbon not identified," or "ribbon not valid" messages, first ensure you're using a genuine Evolis ribbon. Then check that your Primacy 2 firmware is updated to the latest version. These steps resolve most ribbon recognition issues and ensure proper capacity tracking.
What is the shelf life of this ribbon?
When stored properly in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, genuine Evolis dye-sublimation ribbons typically maintain quality for up to one year. Proper storage is essential for optimal print results.
Why should I choose genuine Evolis ribbons over compatible alternatives?
Genuine Evolis ribbons are engineered specifically for Evolis printers to deliver consistent print quality, protect your printhead from damage, and maintain your printer warranty. They also ensure reliable performance and reduce the risk of printing errors or downtime.
How do I ensure the best print quality with this ribbon?
For optimal results, always use genuine Evolis ribbons and keep your Primacy 2 firmware updated to the latest version. Also ensure proper card cleaning before printing and store ribbons in their original packaging until use to maintain quality and performance.
