This YMCK-UV color ribbon is specifically engineered for use with Matica’s XID series retransfer ID card printers—such as the Matica XID8300 and XID8600 models. It delivers full-colour output (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black) plus a dedicated ultraviolet (UV) ink panel that enables printing of covert or visible UV imagery, logos or text—adding a valuable security layer. The ribbon is designed to produce up to approximately 750 full-colour cards per roll (depending on printer mode, card stock and usage). As a consumable built to high standards and matched to the XID platform, it supports edge-to-edge retransfer printing on a variety of card materials, ensuring durability and consistency in professional badge, ID or access-card programs.
Full-colour panels: Yellow (Y), Magenta (M), Cyan (C), Black (K) for rich, vibrant imagery and sharp text/barcodes.
UV panel: Enables printing of UV-visible or invisible elements (such as logos, text, security marks) that only appear under ultraviolet light—useful for anti-counterfeiting.
Compatible with Matica XID8300/XID8600 retransfer printers: Tailored for their 300 dpi/600 dpi engines and full-edge printing capabilities.
Yield: Approximately 750 prints per roll for the YMCK-UV version under typical conditions.
Designed for use on retransfer printers: Supports panels and materials suited to the retransfer process when properly paired with the correct retransfer film.
If your credential-issuance program requires not only high-quality full-colour printing but also enhanced security features (e.g., UV imagery, logos or covert marks), this ribbon lets you integrate those directly in the print job—without needing separate overlay steps.
Because it’s designed for Matica’s high-end retransfer machines (XID8300/8600), it assures compatibility and performance, helping maintain print-head life, colour consistency and card durability. The manufacturer specifies use of genuine ribbons for best results.
Using UV-capable ribbon adds an extra layer of fraud-resistance: printed elements visible only under UV light make verification easier and counterfeiting more difficult.
With a reasonable yield (≈ 750 cards) for full-colour + UV, you can manage consumable cost per card in moderate to high volume issuance, making it practical for programs such as employee badges, membership cards, government IDs, or access credentials.
For markets like Bangladesh (Dhaka) where security, durability and localized batch-printing matter, using a ribbon designed for advanced printers ensures you get professional output without outsourcing.
