Magicard Rio Ribbons

These are genuine Magicard ribbons for the Rio range of ID card printers, the consumable that lays down the image, text or security detail onto your blank cards. If you run a Magicard Rio and need it printing again, this is what you load into it.

Magicard Rio ribbons split into two types. LC3 ribbons each print in one colour only. The LC1/D colour ribbon (M9005-751) at GBP 135.00 is the full colour option in this range, so it is the one to order for photo ID or anything needing more than a single colour on the card. The LC1/D is held in limited stock, so worth checking availability before you commit.

The LC3 single colour ribbons come in blue (M9005-753-2), green (M9005-753-3) and red at GBP 20.50 each, useful for solid one-colour printing across a batch. LC3 black resin (M9005-753) at GBP 35.00 gives you crisp, hard-wearing black text and barcodes, the sort you want when a card takes a lot of handling. Silver (M9005-753-6) at GBP 45.00 and gold (M9005-753-5) at GBP 83.00 add a metallic finish for a more premium card.

Black resin is the natural pick for staff passes and access cards that need durable text and machine-readable barcodes, while the coloured and metallic options suit membership, event or branded cards where the look matters. If you are not sure which ribbon or part number your Rio takes, get in touch with the Plastic ID team and we will match the right ribbon to your printer before you order.
