MC Series Printer Ribbons

The ribbon for a Matica MC310 card printer is the Matica PR20305301 YMCKO colour ribbon, rated for 250 prints. The same part code covers three printers in the MC series, the Matica MC110, MC210 and MC310, so one ribbon serves all three.

MC Series printer ribbons are the consumables that load into Matica card printers and put the image onto your ID cards. The YMCKO name tells you what each panel on the roll does. The yellow, magenta and cyan panels blend to build a photographic-quality image for photos and logos, while the black panel lays down sharp text and barcodes. The O is the overlay, a thin protective coat that guards against fading and everyday handling wear.

A 250-print rating means one roll covers a single-sided colour print run of 250 cards, so print volume should guide how many rolls you keep in stock. The YMCKO ribbon suits anyone printing colour cards in batches, whether that is staff passes with a photo, membership cards or visitor badges.

Matching the ribbon to the printer matters, because a ribbon from a different series will not seat or feed correctly. If your printer is not one of those three or you want to check the yield against your typical run size, the Plastic ID team can confirm the right ribbon before you buy.
