The Datacard 534700-004-R010 is a YMCKT colour ribbon designed for the SD range of card printers, delivering up to 500 full-colour prints per roll. The five-panel format — Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and Topcoat — means each card comes off the printer with a clear protective overlay already applied, guarding against everyday handling, scuffs, and fading without any additional lamination step.

Compared to its predecessor (previously sold as 534000-003), this updated ribbon has a reduced footprint, which translates to less material waste per roll — a small but worthwhile improvement if you're running regular print batches. Each ribbon ships with one Isopropanol cleaning card and one adhesive cleaning sleeve, so you have what you need to keep the printer running cleanly between jobs.

The kind of consumable that rewards a consistent reordering habit — when you're mid-run on staff cards or access credentials, you don't want to discover you're out.
