Why there's no overlay panel
Retransfer printers don't need one. The image prints onto clear film first, then the film is bonded to the card — the film itself is the protective layer. That's what gives you true edge-to-edge printing with no white border, and clean results on smart cards and proximity cards whose uneven surfaces defeat direct-to-card printers.
Other HDP5000 ribbons
- 84052 — YMCKK, adds a second black panel for the reverse of the card
- 84061 — YMCFK, adds a UV fluorescent panel for covert security marks

Common questions
How many cards does one Fargo 84051 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.
Which printers does the Fargo 84051 Color Ribbon fit?
It fits the Fargo HDP5000. Not sure which printer you have? Email sales@bodno.com and we’ll confirm it before you order.
What do YMCKO and YMCKOK mean?
These are ribbon codes showing the print panels:
- Y = Yellow
- M = Magenta
- C = Cyan
- K = Black (used for text/barcodes)
- O = Overlay (protective layer)
YMCKO is for single-sided color printing.
YMCKOK adds a second black panel for printing on the back.
Some ribbons are just K—used for black-only printing.
Do I need a retransfer film?
Only for retransfer printers, such as the Fargo HDP5000, HDP5000e and HDP6600 and the Seaory R330 and R660. They print onto a clear film and then fuse it onto the card, so they need both a ribbon and a film.
How long do color ribbons last if unopened?
Unopened ribbons can last 18–24 months when stored properly. Keep them sealed in original packaging, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight or humidity to preserve print quality.
