Common Questions
Which printers work with MA1000K-GOLD?
Compatible with Magicard 600, Magicard 300, Enduro (All models), Pronto, Pronto100, MC200, Rio Pro, Rio Pro 360, and Rio Pro Xtended.
How many cards can I print with one ribbon?
Up to 1000 single-sided gold prints. Printing on both sides isn’t typical—dual-sided printing yields about 500 cards (gold on one side only).
Can I print barcodes in gold?
Yes, but gold-foil barcodes may be less scannable than black. For critical barcode readability, use a black-resin ribbon instead.
Is MA1000K-GOLD the same cartridge size as other MA1000K ribbons?
Yes—this gold ribbon uses the same cartridge design as MA1000K-BLACK and other MA1000K-series monochrome films. No hardware changes required.
How should I store this ribbon?
Keep it sealed in its original packaging in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Use within 12 months of manufacture date to prevent print defects or ribbon brittleness.
Why use genuine Magicard gold ribbon instead of a third-party alternative?
Genuine Magicard ensures consistent gold density, protects the printhead from damage, and preserves your printer’s warranty. Cloned ribbons can cause hardware issues and void coverage.
