Common Questions
What does "YMCKO" mean?
YMCKO stands for the ribbon's color panels: Yellow, Magenta, Cyan (for creating full-color images), K (Black resin for sharp text and barcodes), and Overlay (clear protective coating). These layers work together to create vibrant, durable single-sided cards.
Is Specialist ID an authorized Magicard dealer?
Yes, Specialist ID is an authorized Magicard dealer with direct access to genuine Magicard ribbons and consumables. We stock fresh inventory, provide expert technical support, and maintain strong relationships with Magicard to ensure you receive authentic consumables with full manufacturer backing and warranty protection.
What printers is the MB300YMCKO ribbon compatible with?
This ribbon is exclusively designed for the Magicard 600 and Magicard 600 Duo ID card printers. It is NOT compatible with Magicard 300 series, Pronto, Enduro, Rio Pro, MC200, or other Magicard printer models.
What does the "/2" or "/3" mean on Magicard ribbons?
This is a regional code. For instance, "/2" typically signifies the USA market, while "/3" often designates Europe/APAC regions. It's crucial that the ribbon's regional code matches your printer's region; otherwise, the printer may display an "invalid ribbon" error and refuse to print.
How many cards can I print with one MB300YMCKO ribbon?
You can print 300 single-sided full-color cards with one ribbon. If using in a dual-sided printer for both sides, you would get approximately 150 cards (using this ribbon for the front and potentially a separate ribbon for the back).
Can this ribbon print on both sides of a card?
This YMCKO ribbon provides full-color printing on one side only. While you can use it in a dual-sided printer like the 600 Duo, you would need a separate ribbon for the back side, or flip cards to print the back (reducing yield to 150 cards). For color front and black back in one pass, consider the MB250YMCKOK ribbon.
Does this ribbon include a cleaning roller?
Yes, genuine Magicard MB300YMCKO ribbons typically include a cleaning roller (integrated or separate). It's recommended to use the new cleaning roller every time you change the ribbon to maintain optimal print quality and printer longevity.
How should I store unused ribbons to maximize shelf life?
Store ribbons in their original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Properly stored dye-sublimation ribbons typically have a shelf life of up to one year for optimal performance.
Why should I use genuine Magicard ribbons?
Genuine Magicard ribbons are precisely engineered to work with Magicard printers, ensuring optimal print quality, consistent color accuracy, maximum card durability, and preventing potential damage to your printer's delicate printhead, which could void your warranty. Using off-brand ribbons can lead to poor results, ribbon jams, and costly repairs.
