YMCKI RT Color Ribbon for cards with Mag Stripe and/or Chip

Overview

You can use Evolis YMCKI ribbon for cards with magnetic strip, chip and signature panel.

Evolis YMCKI ribbons consist of Yellow (Y), Magenta (M), Cyan (C) and Black (K) panels for printing a combination of full color images (Y,M,C) and one-color text or barcodes (K) which is a black resin panel.  Finally the inhibitor (I) panel which is a special coated panel to prevent the design from being printed on specific parts of cards such as magnetic stripes, chips and signature panels:

• The areas from the card to be saved up by the transfer film are specified in the printer driver. It is possible to define up to 5 different parts on one card;
• During the printing process, the inhibitor (I) panel is applied on the transparent film after the Y, M, C, K panels in places defined in the printer driver;
• During the transfer of the printed film (with Y, M, C, K and I panels), the defined areas for the I panel will not be transferred onto the card.

i.e. a credit card with a magnetic stripe and a signature panel:

The RT5F012NAA ribbon is designed to work with the Avansia card printers.

An Evolis electronic key is delivered with every color ribbon. You will have to install the ribbon first and then install the key inside the printer.

This Evolis supply uses our RFID tag system which recognizes automatically the type of ribbon installed in the printer. Without this key, the printer will not print.
