Choosing a ribbon for the Fargo DTC4000

The Fargo DTC4000 is an older direct-to-card printer that still earns its keep in Irish offices, and the ribbon listed for it is the 45110 YMCKOK, rated for 200 prints at €93 ex VAT. That is a dual-sided ribbon: yellow, magenta, cyan and black panels plus an overlay for the front, and a second black panel for the reverse. If your DTC4000 prints on both sides of the card, this is the cartridge.

The YMCKOK layout is designed around the way most staff cards are laid out: a photo and colour logo on the front, terms of use or a barcode in black on the back. Spending a single black panel on the reverse rather than a full colour set is what keeps the per-card cost sensible.

What to check before ordering

  • Part number: confirm 45110 on the cartridge in the printer. Fargo part numbers in the 45xxx range cover several DTC models and are not interchangeable.
  • Sides: a single-sided DTC4000 would leave the second black panel unused, so check which model you have.
  • Print count: 200 cards per ribbon, so a Dublin office printing 50 staff a month gets four months from one cartridge.

Cards, cleaning and newer DTC ribbons

Pair the ribbon with 760 micron blank white cards and a cleaning kit; a worn DTC4000 is usually a dirty one. If the printer has been replaced, its successors have their own pages under DTC4250 ribbons and DTC4500 ribbons, and the whole brand range is under Fargo ribbons.

Frequently asked questions

Which ribbon does the Fargo DTC4000 use?

The Fargo 45110 YMCKOK colour ribbon, 200 prints, for dual-sided printing.

What does YMCKOK mean?

Yellow, magenta, cyan, black and overlay for the front of the card, then a second black panel for the reverse. One set of panels prints one complete card.

Will a DTC4250e ribbon fit a DTC4000?

Check the part number rather than assuming. The models look similar but their ribbons are listed separately for a reason; call us if the cartridge label is unreadable.
