Several types of ribbons are compatible with Evolis card printers, which function based on the printer model.
These ribbons ensure users have quality prints while maintaining the operational effectiveness of the printers.
The following are the types of ribbons based on the printing requirements:
YMCKO ribbons
These ribbons are used in almost all color prints in an Evolis printer. The yellow, magenta, cyan, and black strands are layered and applied in such a way that while the strands of clear coat are transparent, they blend in the colors of the photo. The black provides the contrast, and the overlay protects the card from scratches and other damage. This multifunctional ribbon is used in large quantities in offices and organizations where photo ID cards are produced.
Black monochrome ribbons
As the name suggests, these black ribbons are only meant for printing black and white images. Monochrome ribbons are used where HR and simple ID verification are required. They are cost-effective as they can be used for the production of multiple non-technical cards. These ribbons are generally economical and reduce costs because they are longer-lasting, hence used frequently in black and white prints.
YMCK ribbons
The difference between the YMCK ribbons and YMC and monochrome ribbons is that the YMC strands are applied with a black resin layer in YMCK ribbons. This layer is not only applied for better color depth but also for financial advantage. Organizations that require fewer edits but still want color prints prefer this kind of ribbon.
KO ribbons
KO monochrome ribbons are used to print exclusively on the black layer. KO ribbons are ideal for cards that need black text and other monochrome graphics such printing company ID cards. They are also used as a cost-reduction factor and are compatible with color YMCKO ribbons. The KO print utilizes less color ribbon, thus cutting costs in the overall ribbon use.

Choosing a compatible Evolis ribbon will depend on several aspects, such as compatibility, what is needed in the print, financial implications, and the environment where it is used. The brief explanation of the details is as follows:
Printer model
There are different types of ribbons produced by Evolis depending on their models. Ribbons are only designed for certain printers, hence only their model numbers. It is advised to check the printer manual or distinct printed on the box before purchasing a ribbon.
Printing needs
To complete the task at hand, the type of cards that need to be printed will define the kind of ribbon needed. For colorful, vibrant cards such as ID badges, corporate membership cards, and event badges, a YMCKO ribbon will be appropriate for full-color printing. A monochrome black ribbon is required when designs or text are printed in black and white only; KO and YMC ribbons are economical for short-term use only.
Cost considerations
Purchasing a compatible Evolis card printer ribbon can be economical if the printer is not a recent model or if it is used to periodically print color. Monochrome and economical KO ribbons save a lot in printing costs. However, if full-color prints are required, choosing quality and durable ribbons may be more cost-effective.
Volume of printing
The amount of ribbon required affects which one to buy. If a large number of ID cards and badges are to be printed, it is advisable to use a YMCKO or monochrome KO ribbon with greater output capacity. For small quantities, the ribbons that meet the immediate needs can be economical and efficient. Functionality of the ribbon: There is a functional difference in the ribbons, depending on the hardware such as overlays or color spectra.
Durability features
For more durable cards, make sure that ribbons include protective overlays that add a scratch proof and water-proof feature to the cards. Ribbons with quality such overlays are synonymous with safety features against the cards printed within them.
