The Fargo 045000 is a five-panel YMCKO colour ribbon designed for the DTC1000 and DTC1250e card printers — the kind of consumable that does exactly what it needs to do without complication. Four colour panels deliver full-spectrum colour reproduction across every card, while the transparent overlay adds a protective finish that holds up against the daily handling most ID cards endure.

The integrated cleaning roller is a practical inclusion. It maintains the print head during each ribbon cycle, which keeps output consistent and helps protect the printer over time. At 250 full-colour prints per roll, it's well suited to organisations printing in regular batches rather than high-volume runs.

As a genuine Fargo ribbon, the 045000 is the straightforward choice if you're running a DTC1250e and want colour output you can rely on — accurate, protected, and consistent from the first card to the last.
