What Does YMCKK Mean?
A YMCKK printer ribbon contains Yellow (Y), Magenta (M), Cyan (C), Black resin (K) and a second Black resin (K) panel. This configuration is commonly used for dual-sided ID card printing where the front of the card requires full-color images or photographs and the back requires black-only printing.
The second black resin panel makes the 45715 especially useful for printing crisp barcodes, identification numbers, text and other monochrome information on the reverse side without using the color panels unnecessarily.
