Details

Choosing the correct ribbon for dual-sided printing.

• When printing color on both sides, the YMCKO ribbon is preferred. One set of panels will be used for each side of the card.
• When color is required for the front and strictly black is needed for the back of the card, YMCKOK ribbon is recommended. In this case, the Y, M, C, K and O panels are used on the front and the second K panel is used on the back, i.e. only one set of panels is used to complete both sides of the card.
• Remember that with the "i" series printers, it is vital that the ribbon selected in the driver matches the ribbon type that is installed in the printer.
• For printers that have laminators, the choice will be made between YMCK and YMCKK. The "O" panel is not needed as the laminate takes its place.
