Common Questions
What does "YMCKOK" mean?
YMCKOK denotes the ribbon's panels: Yellow, Magenta, Cyan (for front color), first K (Black resin for front text/barcodes), Overlay (for front protection), and the second K (Black resin for back-side printing). This configuration is perfect for professional dual-sided ID cards.

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 MC250YMCKOK ribbon compatible with?
This ribbon is specifically designed for and exclusively compatible with the Magicard 300 and Magicard 300 Duo ID card printers. It is NOT compatible with Magicard 600 series, Enduro, Rio Pro, or other Magicard models.
What does the "/2" mean on Magicard ribbons?
This is a regional code. For instance, "/2" typically signifies the USA market. 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 MC250YMCKOK ribbon?
You can print 250 dual-sided cards (full color on the front, black on the back) with one ribbon. This makes it ideal for medium-volume card issuance programs and provides excellent value.
When should I choose YMCKOK over other ribbon types?
Choose YMCKOK if you need full color (including photos) on the front of your card and black-only text or barcodes on the back. This configuration is specifically optimized for professional dual-sided ID cards requiring color front/black back layout.
Does this ribbon include a cleaning roller?
Yes, genuine Magicard MC250YMCKOK ribbons typically include a cleaning roller. It's recommended to replace the cleaning roller every time you change the ribbon to maintain 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 ribbons typically have a shelf life of up to one year for optimal performance.
Why should I use genuine Magicard ribbons?
Genuine ribbons are designed, tested, and approved by Magicard to ensure optimal print quality, consistent color accuracy, and to prevent damage to your printer's printhead, which could void your warranty. Third-party ribbons may lead to poor results or costly repairs.
