Evolis R3011 YMCKO Colour Ribbon (200 Prints)

Evolis R3011 YMCKO ribbon for legacy card printers

The Evolis R3011 YMCKO ribbon prints colour photographs and artwork, resin-black details and a clear protective overlay on suitable cards. Its nominal 200-print capacity suits replacement supplies for compatible legacy Evolis equipment. Match the full reference to the installed printer before placing an order.

Evolis R3011 YMCKO ribbon compatibility

Evolis's legacy YMCKO datasheet lists R3011 for the Pebble/Dualys family and Securion. Confirm the precise model against its user guide, particularly when replacing a ribbon on older equipment. Zenius, Primacy and their later generations use different colour-ribbon references.

This ribbon can support staff photographs, membership artwork and other designs needing several colours in the same print. Its format differs from continuous monochrome ribbon, so check the intended artwork and the printer's ribbon selection when moving between colour and single-colour jobs.

Understand the five panels and capacity

Yellow, magenta and cyan create the colour image. The resin-black panel prints appropriate black text or details, while the overlay panel applies a thin protective varnish. That varnish is part of the ribbon's printing process; a separate patch-lamination setup uses its own equipment and supplies.

The Evolis R3011 YMCKO ribbon has a nominal rating of 200 panel sets. If a supported duplex job uses a complete set on each face, it consumes two sets per finished card. Select the ribbon and driver mode for the front and reverse artwork, allowing for sample prints before the full run.

Evolis R3011 YMCKO ribbon questions

Which blank cards should I choose?

Evolis specifies suitable PVC or composite stock for this ribbon family. Compare our premium blank white PVC cards after checking the material, thickness and surface accepted by the printer. The card stock and artwork should be tested together.

Will it fit a Quantum colour-printing workflow?

Use the exact reference specified for the Quantum generation. Evolis lists other colour ribbons for those models. A shared brand name or similar spool format does not establish compatibility with R3011.

Where can I check the original reference?

Consult the manufacturer's legacy YMCKO datasheet and current consumables chart, then follow the printer's loading and cleaning instructions. Contact ACB for help matching replacement supplies. For a batch of supplied finished badges, compare our photo ID card printing service.
