The Fargo 45200 is the standard YMCKO ribbon for the DTC4500 printer — a straightforward consumable for organisations printing staff ID cards, visitor passes, or membership cards at volume. Each roll delivers 500 full-colour prints, with Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and Overlay panels packed into a single cartridge.

The colour panels handle photographic images with the kind of tonal accuracy you need when faces on cards actually have to match the people wearing them. The dedicated black panel keeps text sharp and barcodes scannable — the kind of detail that matters when cards are being read by access control readers rather than admired on a desk. A clear overlay panel finishes each card, adding a layer of protection against the daily friction of lanyards, wallets, and card readers.

Using genuine Fargo ribbons in the DTC4500 keeps the printer running as intended — third-party alternatives tend to introduce inconsistency that shows up quickly in print quality and can affect the printer's calibration over time. The 045200 is the correct ribbon for this machine. SKU: R-FG-45200.
