Fargo 84069 Half Panel Color Ribbon - HDP5000 - YMCK - 1,000 prints - DISCONTINUED

Fargo 84069 half-panel ribbons include half-size yellow (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C) panels, for printing full-color images. The full-size resin black (K) panel is used for printing text and barcodes.

Fargo 84069 half panel ribbons include Y, M, and C half panels and a full-size resin K panel.

Half-panel ribbons allow you to print color on up to half the length of a standard CR80-size PVC card, while resin black may be printed on any area of the card. If you're only printing full-color on part of your cards, Fargo 84069 half panel ribbons allow twice the normal ribbon yield than a standard YMCK ribbon, at a lower cost per card.

The illustration below shows the difference between when a standard YMCK ribbon is appropriate and when a Fargo 84069 half-panel ribbon may be the right ribbon for you.

Did you know that Fargo 84069 color ribbons have a shelf life?

When stored under proper conditions, Fargo 84069 dye-sublimation color ribbons typically have a shelf life of up to one year. Ribbons that are more than a year old, and improperly stored, will not print optimally and will likely end up costing more money and time in maintenance and in reprinting cards.
