What the panels do
YMC lays down full-color photos and artwork. The K resin panel prints crisp black text and scannable barcodes. The O overlay tops the card with a protective coat so the print survives daily handling, lanyard wear and UV exposure.
500 prints per roll
At 500 cards, one roll covers a mid-size organization's annual badge issue in a single run — worth ordering alongside a 500-pack of blanks so the counts line up.

Pair with CR80 30 mil blank cards — the 500 pack is $39.99.
Common questions
How many cards does one Fargo 45200 Color Ribbon print?
500 single-sided cards per ribbon. If you print on both sides of a card, each card uses two prints, so one ribbon makes 250 two-sided cards.
How many ribbons do I need?
For 500 cards you need 1 ribbon, and for 1,000 cards you need 2, printing on one side. Use the calculator above for your exact number.
What does YMCKO mean on this ribbon?
Y, M and C (yellow, magenta and cyan) print the full-color picture. K prints sharp black text and barcodes. O lays a clear overlay over the card to protect it. Together they print full color on one side of the card.
