EasyBadge 2.0 Printer Ribbons

Genuine colour ribbons for the EasyBadge 2.0 card printer are the YMCKO 5 Panel Ribbon and the YMCFKO 6 Panel UV Ribbon. Both carry the dye panels that lay full-colour images and text onto plastic ID cards, so if you print staff passes, visitor badges or membership cards in-house, this is the consumable that keeps it running.

The YMCKO 5 Panel Ribbon (part number 653075, £52.50) carries the yellow, magenta and cyan colour panels, a black panel for text and barcodes, plus a clear overlay for a hard-wearing finish. It prints up to 100 images per roll. The YMCFKO 6 Panel UV Ribbon (part number 653074, £69.95) adds a fluorescent (F) panel for a UV security mark that only shows under ultraviolet light. It runs to 200 images per roll.

The panel counts and yields are matched to the EasyBadge 2.0. The 5 panel ribbon is the smaller outlay per roll and suits everyday full-colour printing at modest volumes. The 6 panel UV ribbon costs more per roll but holds twice the images, cutting the cost per card to about 35p against 53p, so choose it when you need a covert security feature or you are printing in quantity.
