It prints single-color red text, barcodes, and graphics on PVC ID cards—ideal for department coding, warning flags, or branded accents.

Each ribbon yields up to 1,000 prints, so you spend less time changing ribbons and more time issuing badges.

How should I store ribbons?
Keep them sealed in their original packaging, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and extreme temperatures.
What if my printer shows a ribbon error?
Ensure the cartridge is fully seated, inspect for film defects, clean sensors and rollers, and consult your manual or Magicard support.
My red prints look faint—what should I do?
Clean cards and printhead, run a cleaning cycle with a Magicard kit, verify monochrome settings, and replace the printhead if issues persist.
