Entrust 525100-011 YMCKF-KT UV Ribbon (300 Sets)

Entrust 525100-011 ymckf-kt uv ribbon

The Entrust 525100-011 YMCKF-KT UV ribbon adds a fluorescent panel to colour card printing. It supports configured fluorescent details alongside normal visible artwork and carries a nominal 300-set rating. Confirm the Sigma printer, artwork and supported print settings before introducing a security-feature design.

Colour artwork with a fluorescent element

The colour panels create the visible image, while F identifies the UV-fluorescent feature. Plan a distinct artwork element and check it with appropriate UV inspection equipment. The feature must be configured in the print workflow; inserting the ribbon alone does not automatically create the intended mark.

Nominal 300-panel-set rating

Entrust lists this ribbon at 300 panel sets. Actual finished-card output depends on the print mode and which panels are used on each face. Confirm the layout before calculating a large order, and allow capacity for artwork tests and approval cards.

Choose the intended visual feature

Entrust lists this reference for Sigma DS1, DS2 and DS3. Check the exact printer and software configuration for fluorescent artwork. If the design calls for a visible iridescent luster effect, compare the separate 525100-016 YMCKL-KT luster ribbon. UV fluorescence and luster should not be described as interchangeable features.

Prepare card stock and care supplies

The manufacturer kit lists a cleaning card and adhesive roller with the ribbon. Use suitable card stock and follow the printer's maintenance instructions. Agree the inspection process before issuing cards: a UV feature can support a visual check, but does not establish a complete access-control system on its own.

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

Frequently asked questions

What does F mean?

F is the UV-fluorescent panel in the ribbon sequence.

Will it make cards impossible to forge?

No. It adds a configured visual-check feature. The effectiveness of your card programme depends on the full design and checking process.

Does it encode an RFID card?

No. Surface printing and electronic encoding are separate operations requiring their own compatible equipment.
