IDP SMART 650634 YMCKO Colour Ribbon (250 Prints)

IDP 650634 YMCKO ribbon: choosing the right supply

The IDP 650634 YMCKO ribbon is the 250-print colour supply listed here for the SMART-30 and SMART-50 printer families. It combines colour, black detail and a clear overlay in one printing sequence. Match the reference on your current ribbon before buying, especially if you have replaced an older SMART printer with a newer model.

Colour, black and overlay in one sequence

The Y, M and C panels form colour photos and graphics. K provides the black detail and O applies a clear overlay. A typical use is a staff badge with a portrait, company logo, name and job title. The overlay is part of this ribbon's print sequence; it is not a separate heavy lamination patch.

IDP 650634 YMCKO ribbon compatibility

This is the legacy 650634 listing. IDP's current SMART-31 and SMART-51 documentation identifies 659366 as the standard 250-print YMCKO reference for those families. Do not assume that a matching colour sequence makes cartridges interchangeable. Send ACB a photo of your old ribbon label if the printer model or supply code is unclear.

Plan your card quantity

The IDP 650634 YMCKO ribbon has an advertised rating of 250 prints. Allow for design tests and any extra printed faces when working out the number of rolls for a job. Check that the driver is set for the ribbon and that your layout is ready before starting a larger batch.

Complete your printing supplies

Choose smooth, printer-compatible blank white PVC cards for standard badges and follow the printer's cleaning routine when replacing consumables. If you need preprinted stock or a specialist card surface, confirm it with ACB first. You can also compare our photo ID card printing service when it is more practical to have the finished cards supplied.

Frequently asked questions

Is 650634 the SMART-31/51 colour reference?

Do not treat it as interchangeable. IDP currently lists 659366 for standard 250-print SMART-31/51 YMCKO work; confirm your exact printer and cartridge.

Does the overlay mean the card is laminated?

The ribbon adds a clear print overlay. This is different from a dedicated laminator applying a separate patch.

Can I print full-colour photographs?

The YMCKO sequence is intended for colour artwork, including portraits, in the correct supported printer.
