Care & Maintenance

To get the best from your Magicard MC300YMCKO Colour Ribbon:

• Ensure the printer’s cleaning kit is used regularly to maintain print quality and prolong print head life. (Using genuine cleaners improves performance.).

• Store sealed ribbon rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or magnetic fields (helps preserve colour fidelity).

• After installation, allow first few prints to stabilise (especially if you are switching from a different ribbon type) to avoid colour shifts or streaks.

• If printing double-sided cards, note that the yield drops to around half the single-sided capacity — plan accordingly.

• Replace the ribbon promptly when print output begins to fade or output quality drops — continuing with an expired ribbon may degrade card quality or damage print heads.

FAQs on the Magicard MC300YMCKO Colour Ribbon

Q1. What yield can I expect from this ribbon?
A1. Up to 300 single-sided prints when used in compatible Magicard 300 series printers. If you print double-sided full colour, expect around 150 prints per ribbon.

Q2. Which printers are compatible with this ribbon?
A2. This ribbon is designed for the Magicard 300 series (including single-sided and dual-sided models). Confirm via the machine’s consumables list for your region.

Q3. What does “O” (Overlay) panel do in the YMCKO format?
A3. The overlay panel applies a clear protective coating over the printed side of the card. It helps preserve colours, prevent tampering and increase durability.

Q4. Can I use this ribbon in double-sided mode?
A4. Yes — but the printed capacity per ribbon will be lower (~150 cards) compared with single-sided use because both sides consume ribbon panels.

Q5. Will using a non-genuine ribbon damage my printer?
A5. Using non-genuine or incompatible ribbons can void warranty coverage, degrade print quality and potentially reduce printer life. Always use approved consumables for optimal performance.
