Panel Breakdown
-
Y – Yellow, M – Magenta, C – Cyan Panels: Dye-sublimation panels that fuse together to create vivid, photo-quality, full-spectrum color images.
-
K – Black Resin Panel: Used for printing sharp, crisp monochrome text, logos, and scannable barcodes.
(Note: Because this is a 4-panel YMCK ribbon rather than YMCKO, clear protective overlay application is handled separately by the retransfer film layer during the retransfer printing process).
Operational Notes
-
Retransfer Technology: Designed for a two-step printing process where the image is reverse-printed onto the clear retransfer film and then thermally bonded to the card. This allows for true edge-to-edge printing and makes it ideal for uneven surfaces, smart cards, and proximity cards.
