Entrust 525100-001 YMCKT Colour Ribbon (250 Sets)

Entrust 525100-001 ymckt colour ribbon

The Entrust 525100-001 YMCKT colour ribbon supplies colour panels, black detail and clear topcoat for smaller badge runs. Its nominal capacity is 250 panel sets. Match the exact 525100-001 reference to your Sigma DS1 or DS2 setup before replacing your current ribbon.

Colour photos and branded card artwork

Yellow, magenta and cyan create the colour image. The K panel supplies black detail and T applies a clear topcoat. This makes the format suitable for a card face containing a portrait, logo, name and role. Prepare the artwork and check image quality before starting a production run.

250 sets or the larger 500-set reference?

The nominal capacity is 250 panel sets. Compare 525100-004 YMCKT with 500 sets if a larger roll suits your usage. Calculate consumption by printed faces and print mode, with an allowance for test cards. Neither rating should be read as an unconditional count of finished double-sided cards.

Entrust 525100-001 YMCKT colour ribbon compatibility

The base 525100-001 reference is listed for DS1 and DS2. Entrust's DS3 sheet lists 525100-001-S100 instead. Confirm your current box label, printer and required suffix before ordering. A generic YMCKT description does not establish compatibility across printer models or regions.

Cards and cleaning for your next run

The Entrust 525100-001 YMCKT colour ribbon kit includes an isopropanol cleaning card and an adhesive roller. Fit and clean as instructed. Choose suitable blank white PVC cards, and confirm specialist surfaces separately. For a short or occasional run, our photo ID card printing service is another option.

Check the range in the Entrust Sigma supplies guide, or contact ACB with your printer and old ribbon reference.

Prepare your next badge run

Before ordering, record your printer model and the full reference from the current ribbon box. Include any suffix rather than shortening it to the base number. This gives ACB the details needed to check a replacement. It also helps distinguish this roll from a cassette or another Sigma supply.

For a new badge template, check the smallest text, longest name and portrait crop on a sample card. Scan any barcode with the reader that will be used in practice. Keep the approved artwork and driver settings together so later batches use the same setup.

Count replacement cards and setup tests when estimating the order. Note the print mode and whether each face uses a complete colour sequence. For example, 100 card faces using one set each consume 100 of the nominal 250 sets before test prints. A design using a full set on both faces consumes two sets per card.

Entrust 525100-001 YMCKT colour ribbon questions

What does YMCKT mean?

Yellow, magenta, cyan, black and topcoat: the five-panel printing sequence.

Is this a prefilled cassette reference?

No. Entrust lists prefilled cassettes under separate references. Match the complete replacement format.

Will it work in a DS3?

Check first. Entrust identifies the corresponding DS3 reference with the -S100 suffix.
