Product Features

Full-Color YMCKT Printing Technology

The YMCKT ribbon uses a five-panel system (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and Topcoat) to produce high-quality, full-color images. The combination of dye-sublimation color panels ensures accurate color reproduction for logos, photos, and detailed graphics.

Integrated Protective Topcoat Layer

The T (Topcoat) panel applies a transparent protective overlay over printed cards, enhancing resistance to fading, scratching, and everyday wear. This significantly improves card durability and extends service life.

High Print Yield Efficiency

Each ribbon kit supports up to 500 single-sided full-color prints or approximately 250 dual-sided cards, making it suitable for medium to high-volume ID card issuance environments.

Built-In Cleaning System for Printer Maintenance

The kit includes essential maintenance components such as an isopropanol cleaning card and an adhesive cleaning roller. These help maintain optimal print quality and extend printer lifespan by reducing dust and residue buildup.

RFID-Based Automatic Ribbon Recognition

The integrated RFID chip enables compatible Entrust printers to automatically detect ribbon type, ensuring optimized print settings, reduced errors, and consistent output quality.

Wide Printer Compatibility

Specifically designed for Entrust Sigma DS1, DS2, and DS3 ID card printers, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance across the Sigma printing ecosystem.

Biodegradable Core Construction

The ribbon features an environmentally friendly biodegradable core, supporting sustainable printing operations and reducing plastic waste.
