Genuine Datacard 534000-004 YMCKT short panel color ribbon kit. Datacard recommends using authentic Datacard supplies to ensure the best performance from your ID card printer.

Datacard 534000-004 YMCKT short panel ribbons are used for printing a combination of full-color images and one-color text or barcodes, and feature an Earth-friendly biodegradable core.

Short panel YMCKT ribbons consist of short yellow (Y), magenta (M) and cyan (C) panels for printing a full spectrum of colors by combining the colors using varying degrees of heat. The K panel is a black resin panel, typically used for printing text and barcodes and the T panel is a thin, clear protective overlay.

Datacard 534000-004 short panel ribbons allow approximately twice the normal ribbon yield than a standard YMCKT ribbon, at a lower cost per card. Short panel ribbons allow you to print color (YMC) on half the length of a standard CR8030 card, while the resin black (K) and topcoat (T) panels may be printing on any area of the card.

To use this new ribbon, printer firmware version must be version 2.0 or higher. For procedure and to download the firmware update, please view http://www.datacard.com/gogreen
