How many ID cards do you
want to make per year?
Half-panel ribbons have half of the normal yellow (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C) color panels and full panels of black (K) and clear overlay (O). With half-panel ribbons, you get twice the normal yield than a standard full-panel YMCKO ribbon making for a more cost-effective printing solution.
Half-panel ribbons are ideal for use when personalizing a pre-printed ID card or for printing a smaller color photo or graphic, plus a black barcode, image or text anywhere on the card surface. The full overlay (O) panel will cover the card surface to protect the printed information.
