Magicard Tango Ribbons

These are genuine Magicard ribbons for the Tango range of card printers, in LC1, LC3 and LC8 codes, for single colour text printing and full colour photo ID cards. The code you need depends on the exact print engine your Tango model uses, so check your model before you order.

The Magicard LC3 single colour ribbons print a solid block of one colour, in blue (M9005-753-2), green (M9005-753-3), gold (M9005-753-5), silver (M9005-753-6) and red. Blue, green and red share the same low price. Silver costs more and gold more again. The Magicard LC3 black resin ribbon (M9005-753) is the one for sharp text and barcodes that need a crisp, hard-wearing black.

The Magicard LC8/D YMCKOK ribbon (M9005-748) is the full colour ribbon for the Tango. It carries yellow, magenta, cyan, an overlay panel and two resin black panels, so a photographic front and its protective finish go down in one pass. The second black panel handles text on the reverse. The LC1/D colour ribbon (M9005-751) covers the older LC1 engine and is currently held in limited stock.

If you print names, membership numbers or barcodes only, a single colour or black resin ribbon will do the job and keep running costs down. Full colour staff passes, visitor badges and photo ID need the YMCKOK ribbon to reproduce skin tones and logos. Not sure which code fits your machine? Send the model or serial number and the Plastic ID team will confirm the correct Tango ribbon and the print count per roll before you order.
