Choosing a Datacard SP75 ribbon

The Datacard SP75 belongs to the generation of card printers that were bought for large ID programmes and then simply kept going. Plenty are still in service around Ireland, printing the same cards they were installed for, and the ribbon they need is the same today as it was then: a YMCKT colour kit from the Datacard 534000 series.

Two are listed here. The Datacard 534000-002 YMCKT colour ribbon gives 250 prints from €191 ex VAT. The Datacard YMCKT ribbon colour kit 534000-003, for use on the SP printer range, gives 500 prints from €347 ex VAT. Same panels, same printer, twice the cards on the larger roll.

250 or 500 prints: what to look for

RibbonPrintsPrice ex VATPer card
Datacard 534000-002 YMCKT250€191about 76 cent
Datacard 534000-003 YMCKT kit500€347about 69 cent

The 500 print kit is the cheaper card, but only if you will use it. A ribbon that sits half-used in an open printer for a year prints worse at the end than at the start, so an organisation issuing a few hundred cards a year is often better served by the 250 print ribbon, replaced fresh.

What YMCKT means, and the cards to pair it with

Y, M, C and K are the yellow, magenta, cyan and black panels that build the image; T is the topcoat, Datacard's clear protective panel applied over the finished print. The ribbon prints on standard 760 micron cards, so any pack of blank white cards suits it, and a card from the printer cleaning kits at each ribbon change keeps an older SP printer running cleanly. Other Datacard and Entrust models have their own pages, including SP55 and SD360, and the complete range is under Entrust Datacard ribbons. All dispatch from Dublin.
