Description
The HID Fargo 45233 / 045233 ECO YMCKO half-panel ribbon refill is designed for compatible HID Fargo DTC4500e 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 YMC color panels print the color area, while the black and overlay panels are full size for text, barcodes, and card protection anywhere on the card. This lets you print black text and barcodes across the card while using less color ribbon than a standard full-panel YMCKO ribbon. This ribbon is the direct replacement for the discontinued HID Fargo 045214.
