Which printers are compatible with the Magicard MB600KO ribbon?
This ribbon is exclusively compatible with the Magicard 600 series ID card printers (including both single and dual-sided models). It is not compatible with other Magicard printer models like the Pronto, Enduro, Rio Pro, Rio Pro 360, or Xtended printers.
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 Magicard MB600KO ribbon?
Each Magicard MB600KO ribbon yields up to 600 single-sided prints. This high yield makes it cost-effective for large volume monochrome card production.
What does "KO" mean in the ribbon name?
"K" stands for the black resin panel, which prints black text, images, and barcodes. "O" stands for the clear overlay panel, which applies a thin protective layer over the printed surface for added durability.

Can I print color cards with the MB600KO ribbon?
No, the MB600KO is a monochrome (black) ribbon. For full-color printing, you would need a YMCKO or YMCKOK color ribbon, also designed for the Magicard 600 printer.
Why should I use genuine Magicard ribbons?
Genuine Magicard ribbons are precisely engineered to work with Magicard printers, ensuring optimal print quality, consistent output, maximum card durability, and preventing potential damage to your printer's delicate printhead, which could void your warranty.
