Entrust 525100-002 ymcKT Short-Panel Ribbon (650 Sets)

Entrust 525100-002 ymckt short-panel ribbon

The Entrust 525100-002 ymcKT short-panel ribbon suits card layouts where colour artwork occupies only part of the face. Shorter colour panels work alongside black and topcoat in a nominal 650-set roll. Check the position and size of the colour area before choosing it over a full-panel ribbon.

Use colour where the layout needs it

A small portrait or colour logo can suit a short-panel design, while the remaining information uses the appropriate black and topcoat parts of the sequence. The layout must fit the ribbon's permitted colour area. Do not select a short-panel roll for a full-face colour background without checking the printer setup.

Compare full-panel colour when required

For a larger colour design, compare 525100-004 full-panel YMCKT rather than trying to force the artwork into a short-panel format. The 650-set rating is a ribbon capacity, not a promise that every design will produce 650 finished duplex cards. Allow for setup and additional printed faces.

Match the printer and suffix

Entrust lists the base 525100-002 reference for Sigma DS1 and DS2. Its DS3 sheet specifies 525100-002-S100. Confirm your printer, region and complete replacement code. Driver settings and an approved short-panel template are as important as the supply reference.

Keep supplies ready for the batch

The manufacturer kit lists a ribbon, cleaning card and adhesive roller. Fit them according to the printer instructions. Use compatible blank white PVC cards or confirm any preprinted stock, and test the whole card design before running a large batch.

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