Description
The HID Fargo 45034 / 045034 YMCKOKO half-panel ribbon is designed for compatible HID Fargo DTC1250e ID card printers. Half-panel ribbons are a cost-saving choice when all full-color elements, such as a photo, logo, or color graphic, can fit within the color-printable half of the card. The shorter color panels print the color area, while black and overlay panels can be used across the card surfaces. This lets you print black text and barcodes across the card while using less color ribbon than a standard full-panel YMCKO ribbon.

HID’s next generation ribbons are built for better print quality, higher productivity, and improved sustainability. The upgraded dye formulation produces brighter whites, darker blacks, a stronger color profile, more vivid imagery, and crisper text. Smaller ribbon cores and HID’s new corrugated cardboard packaging, which replaces single-use plastic and began rolling out in North America in mid-2026, also help reduce waste and support sustainability goals.
