The Fargo 45614 YMCKOK half-panel ribbon is designed for organisations that need full-colour ID cards with crisp monochrome text on the reverse — without burning through ribbon faster than necessary. The half-sized Y, M and C panels cover one half of the card with photo-quality colour, while two dedicated black resin panels handle detailed text, barcodes, and fine print on both sides. A clear overlay panel rounds things out, adding a protective layer that stands up to the kind of daily handling a working ID card actually gets.

At 650 prints per roll, this ribbon delivers roughly twice the yield of a standard YMCKOK ribbon — a meaningful difference when you're managing ongoing print volumes or keeping consumables spend predictable. The ribbon sequence is Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, Overlay, Black, covering everything a dual-sided card programme typically requires in a single pass.

Using genuine Fargo ribbons in your HDP or DTC printer isn't just good practice — it's what keeps colour accuracy consistent and protects the print head over time. The manufacturer part number is 45614, compatible with supported Fargo printer models.
