Fargo Ribbons

Product Introduction: Fargo 5000 Printer Ribbons

Fargo 5000 printer ribbons offer a complete and professional solution for high-quality card printing applications. This product range includes color ribbons, UV security ribbons, black monochrome ribbons, retransfer films, and laminate ribbons, all designed specifically for the Fargo 5000 retransfer card printer.

The Fargo 5000 utilizes indirect (retransfer) printing technology, where images and text are first printed onto a special film and then transferred onto the PVC card using heat. This process delivers exceptional image clarity, superior color durability, and long-lasting print performance.

Fargo 5000 YMCK Color Ribbon

The YMCK ribbon features Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black panels, enabling full-color printing with precise black text and sharp details. It is ideal for cards that require both vibrant images and accurate monochrome elements.

• Print capacity: 500 cards

• Part number: 084051

• Applications: ID cards, student cards, warranty cards, membership cards

Fargo 5000 YMC Color Ribbon

The YMC ribbon uses only three color panels—Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan—without a black panel. This makes it a cost-effective option for full-color image printing where black text or barcodes are not required.

• Print capacity: 750 cards

• Part number: 084050

• Applications: Staff cards, ID cards, smart cards

Fargo 5000 UV (YMCFK) Security Ribbon

The UV ribbon combines standard color panels with a fluorescent security panel, allowing invisible printing of logos, symbols, and custom security elements. This significantly enhances card security and helps prevent counterfeiting.

• Print capacity: 500 cards

• Part number: 084061

• Applications: Secure cards with invisible security features

Fargo 5000 Black (K) Ribbon

The monochrome black ribbon is designed for high-volume printing of black text and graphics on PVC cards. Since only one black panel is used per card, it offers a much higher print yield compared to color ribbons.

• Applications: Text, names, serial numbers, membership numbers, logos

Fargo 5000 Retransfer Film
