Description
Transform every ID card into a statement of professionalism and security.
The Magicard Prima833 YMCKK Ribbon delivers uncompromising edge-to-edge color on the front and razor-sharp black text or barcodes on the back—so every badge you issue looks flawless, scans reliably, and stands up to daily wear without a second thought.
Important: The Prima833 ribbon cannot produce finished cards by itself. It must be used with the Magicard PRIMA436 Retransfer Film—a critical component that transfers your printed image onto the card’s surface. Without the PRIMA436 film, your print jobs cannot be completed. Be sure to order both to ensure uninterrupted printing.
Built for Efficiency
The YMCKK configuration uses three dye panels (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan) plus two Black panels—one for front-side detail and one for back-side monochrome printing—so you get full-color graphics up front and high-contrast text or barcodes on the back without wasting ribbon.
Vibrant, Photo-Quality Output
Advanced dye chemistry ensures consistent, accurate color reproduction for logos, photos, and graphics. Your cards will stand out with sharp images and rich, true-to-life hues.
Edge-to-Edge Durability
When combined with retransfer film, this ribbon enables seamless, full-bleed printing and adds a protective overlay that resists scratches, fading, and everyday wear.
High-Yield Performance
Each roll produces up to 750 dual-sided prints, reducing downtime for ribbon changes and keeping high-volume card programs on schedule.
Pro Tip: Store ribbons in their original packaging in a cool, dry place and rotate stock FIFO (first-in, first-out) to maintain optimal print quality and yield.
