🔒 UV SECURITY RIBBON
HID Fargo 84514 YMCFK Color Ribbon
Full-color printing with hidden UV security features—professional retransfer ribbon with invisible fluorescing panel. Perfect for high-security applications like government IDs, corporate badges, and access control cards where both visual quality and covert security verification are essential.
Create secure, professional ID cards with 500 full-color prints featuring hidden UV security elements—specialized retransfer ribbon with YMCFK panels including fluorescing technology that adds invisible anti-counterfeiting protection visible only under ultraviolet light.
Why This Security Ribbon Works
- Hidden UV security features — Fluorescing panel prints invisible text and images that only appear under UV light, providing covert anti-counterfeiting protection that's impossible to replicate
- Full-color photo quality — Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan panels combine to produce vibrant, professional images and logos with exceptional clarity and color accuracy
- Sharp black text and barcodes — Dedicated black resin panel ensures crisp text, precise barcodes, and fine details that remain readable even after heavy use
- Superior retransfer durability — Works with retransfer film for edge-to-edge printing that's more durable than direct-to-card methods and protects against scratches and fading
- Cost-effective security solution — Adds advanced anti-counterfeiting features without requiring expensive additional equipment or complex security systems
Printer Compatibility
- HID Fargo HDP5600 — Premium High Definition Printing model for superior security card production with advanced retransfer technology
- HID Fargo HDP5600XE — Extended capabilities version with dual-sided printing and enhanced security features for comprehensive card programs
- HID Fargo HDP5000 — Professional retransfer printer for high-quality security applications (may require firmware update for full compatibility)
- HID Fargo HDP5000e — Enhanced HDP5000 model designed specifically for HDP5K SYNC consumables including the 84514 ribbon system
- Requires retransfer film — Must be used with compatible retransfer film (Fargo 84500 or 84501) as part of the retransfer printing process
- Not for direct-to-card printers — This ribbon is specifically designed for retransfer technology and will not work in direct-to-card printing systems
Here's How Retransfer UV Security Printing Actually Works
1. Color Image Printing Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan panels create full-color images on the retransfer film with photo-quality results
2. UV Security Application Fluorescing panel adds invisible security elements that can only be seen under ultraviolet light for covert verification
3. Black Text and Details Black resin panel prints sharp text, barcodes, and fine graphics with exceptional clarity and durability
4. Film Transfer Process Complete image is heat-transferred from the retransfer film to the card surface for edge-to-edge coverage
5. Durable Card Protection Retransfer process creates a protective layer that's more durable than direct printing and works on various card materials

Common Questions
What does YMCFK stand for on the ribbon?
YMCFK stands for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, which are the color panels for full-color printing; F for the Fluorescing (UV) panel that prints hidden images visible under UV light; and K for the Black resin panel used for crisp text and barcodes.
Which Fargo printers are compatible with the 84514 YMCFK ribbon?
The HID Fargo 84514 YMCFK ribbon is compatible with HID Fargo HDP5000, HDP5000e, HDP5600, and HDP5600XE series ID card printers. Older HDP5000 models may require a firmware update.
How many prints can I get from one 84514 ribbon?
Each HID Fargo 84514 YMCFK ribbon is designed to produce 500 single-sided prints.
Do I need retransfer film with this ribbon?
Yes, the HID Fargo 84514 YMCFK ribbon is designed for retransfer printers and must be used in conjunction with a compatible retransfer film (such as Fargo 84500 or 84501).
What is the purpose of the "F" (Fluorescing) panel?
The "F" panel prints grayscale text or images that are invisible to the naked eye but glow when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. This provides a cost-effective and highly effective anti-counterfeit security feature.
Can this ribbon print on both sides of a card?
Yes, while the ribbon yield is listed for single-sided prints (500), if used with a dual-sided HDP printer, it can print on both sides of the card. For dual-sided cards with full color and UV on one side and black on the back, the yield would be 250 cards.
Is 84514 the same as 084514?
Yes, HID Fargo 84514 and 084514 refer to the identical product. HID Global often lists part numbers with or without the leading zero.
Why choose a YMCFK ribbon over a standard YMCKO ribbon?
A YMCFK ribbon offers the additional benefit of the fluorescing (UV) panel for covert security features, which a standard YMCKO ribbon (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, Overlay) does not provide. This makes YMCFK ideal for applications requiring enhanced anti-counterfeiting measures.
Is Specialist ID an authorized dealer for this brand?
Yes. Specialist ID is an authorized dealer for HID Fargo ID printers and consumables in the United States.
