Zebra P120i Ribbons

Zebra P120i ribbons carry the image that goes onto your ID cards. This printer takes either the YMCKO colour ribbon or the black resin monochrome ribbon. The choice comes down to full colour or single-colour black.

The YMCKO colour ribbon for the Zebra P120i is part number 800017-240. It is listed for the P120i along with the closely related P100 and P110i. It carries the four print panels for full-colour cards plus a clear overlay that protects the finished surface. YMCKO is the standard choice when you need photographs, coloured logos or a printed background across the card.

The black resin monochrome ribbon for the P120i is part number 800017-201. It prints in black only and gives a hard-wearing finish that suits text, barcodes and simple designs. Resin sits differently to the dye panels in a colour ribbon, which is why it holds up better to handling and scanning over time.

Both are genuine Zebra consumables, so they run as the printer expects without the feed and cleaning issues that come with unbranded stock. Reach for the YMCKO colour ribbon for staff photo ID, visitor passes or membership cards where appearance matters. The black resin ribbon is the better pick for high-volume badges, access cards and anything that leans on barcodes or plain text.
