The Fargo by HID 84513 YMCKH ribbon is a specialty full-color ribbon designed for compatible Fargo HDP5600 and HDP5000 High Definition Printing card printers. This ribbon combines yellow, magenta, cyan, resin black, and a dedicated heat-seal panel to support professional full-color printing on card surfaces that can be more difficult to personalize with standard ribbon configurations. Each Fargo 84513 ribbon produces up to 500 images and is especially useful for specialty credentials and technology cards requiring improved transfer performance.

Designed for Difficult Card Surfaces
The defining feature of the 84513 YMCKH ribbon is its additional heat-seal panel. This specialty panel is intended for applications where normal retransfer adhesion may be more challenging because of the card material, surface construction, or embedded technology.
When paired with compatible HDP film, the 84513 helps the HDP5600 or supported HDP5000 configuration produce full-color credentials with sharp resin-black personalization while supporting improved film transfer on suitable specialty cards.
What Does YMCKH Mean?
A YMCKH ribbon includes yellow, magenta, and cyan dye-sublimation panels for full-color photographs and graphics, a resin-black panel for crisp text and barcodes, and an additional H heat-seal panel.
Unlike a standard YMCK ribbon, the heat-seal configuration is intended for card applications where additional assistance is needed during the HDP retransfer process. This makes the 84513 a specialized consumable rather than a general-purpose color ribbon.
Fargo High Definition Retransfer Printing
Fargo HDP printers use a retransfer process in which the card image is first printed in reverse onto HDP transfer film. The completed image is then fused to the card surface. HID designs its HDP ribbons and films as matched consumables for secure, durable, sharp-looking cards and IDs.
Common Applications
- Specialty identification cards
- Technology cards
- Smart card credentials
- Access control cards
- Employee photo IDs
- Government credentials
- Healthcare identification cards
- University and campus IDs
- Credentials requiring improved transfer performance
500-Image Specialty Ribbon
Each Fargo 84513 ribbon provides up to 500 images. The ribbon delivers the same full-color YMC and resin-black capabilities expected from a professional HDP ribbon while adding the specialized heat-seal panel for applications that require it.
Fargo HDP5600 Ribbon Comparison
| Part Number | Ribbon Type | Yield | Special Feature | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 84513 | YMCKH | 500 images | Heat-seal panel | Specialty or difficult-to-print card surfaces |
| 84511 | YMCK | 500 images | Standard resin black | General full-color photo IDs with black personalization |
| 84512 | YMCKK | 500 images | Two resin-black panels | Color front with black text or barcodes on reverse |
| 84514 | YMCFK | 500 images | Fluorescing security panel | Credentials requiring UV-visible security personalization |
| 84515 | YMCKI | 500 images | Inhibit panel | Cards with areas that should not receive retransfer film |
Why choose the 84513 YMCKH? Select the Fargo 84513 when your HDP5600 or compatible HDP5000 application requires full-color printing, resin-black personalization, and a heat-seal panel for a specialty card surface. If the card does not require the heat-seal function, a standard YMCK configuration may be more appropriate.
Printer & Card Compatibility
The Fargo 84513 is listed for the HDP5600 and compatible HDP5000 configurations. Older HDP5000 printers may require a firmware update before using current HDP5600-family supplies.
Important: Because the 84513 is a specialty heat-seal ribbon, confirm the printer model, firmware revision, card construction, and recommended ribbon/film combination before ordering.
