Common Questions
What is the Prima433 ribbon?
A 5-panel YMCKK dye film for Magicard Prima 4 printers, capable of 750 single-sided prints with full-color fronts and black-only backs.
Is Specialist ID an authorized Magicard dealer?
Yes, Specialist ID is an authorized Magicard dealer with direct access to genuine Prima ribbons and retransfer films. 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 does YMCKK mean?
YMCK prints your full-color front (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black); the extra K panel prints text or barcodes on the back without wasting color panels.
Do I need the PRIMA436 film?
Yes—retransfer printing requires both the Prima433 ribbon and the PRIMA436 Retransfer Film for edge-to-edge, durable cards.
How many cards can one ribbon print?
Up to 750 single-sided cards. For dual-sided printing, you get 750 full-color fronts paired with 750 black-only backs.
Can I print text on the back without wasting panels?
Yes—the second black panel handles back-of-card text without consuming your color panels, making dual-sided printing more economical.
Should I use 100% PVC cards or Composite cards?
Composite cards are stronger and last longer—especially when used with retransfer printers like the Magicard Prima 4. Unlike 100% PVC cards, composite PVC/PET cards resist warping under heat, which means sharper images, fewer reprints, and better durability.
What's the shelf life and storage requirements?
Store sealed ribbons in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and use within 12 months for best results. Rotate ribbon stock FIFO to avoid brittle panels.
