Zebra ZC300 Ribbons

Zebra ZC300 ribbons are the genuine Zebra ribbons that do the printing in ZC100 and ZC300 card printers. The black, red, blue, white, gold, silver and YMCKO 800300-250EM ribbons fit both machines; the KDO, KRO, YMCKOK, Half Panel and YMCKO 800300-255EM are ZC300 only. Get the wrong ribbon and the printer will not run it. Ribbon yield is the number of cards a ribbon prints before it runs out. Each product name carries it.

Monochrome ribbons give you the most cards for the money. The black 800300-301EM prints up to 2000 images; Red 800300-302, Blue 800300-304, White 800300-309EM, Gold 800300-306 and Silver 800300-307 each print 1500. Two 700-image black ribbons with a protective overlay handle hard-wearing single-colour work: the KDO 800300-320EM and the tougher black resin KRO 800300-321EM.

The ribbon for full-colour photo ID is a YMCKO, which lays down the colour panels, a black panel and a clear overlay in one pass. The YMCKO 800300-255EM runs 300 cards; the cheaper YMCKO 800300-250EM also fits the ZC100. Colour on the front and black on the reverse? The YMCKOK 800300-360EM carries the extra black panel and prints 200. The Half Panel YMCKO 800300-370EM prints 400 and puts colour across part of the card only.

Monochrome ribbons suit staff passes, visitor badges and bulk runs where a single colour does the job. Colour ribbons suit photo ID, membership and branded cards. Tell the Plastic ID team your printer model and how many cards you print and we will confirm the right ZC300 ribbon before you order.
