Evolis R3514 YMCKO-K Colour Ribbon – 200 Prints – For Dualys & Quantum Printers

The Evolis R3514 is a specialised six-panel ribbon engineered for high-performance double-sided card printing. It features the standard YMCKO panels (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and Overlay) for the front of the card, followed by a secondary Black (K) resin panel specifically for the reverse side.

This ribbon is the ideal choice for organisations that require a full-colour portrait and a protective varnish on the front of an ID card, while personalising the back with black text, barcodes, or terms and conditions. As a genuine Evolis High Trust® consumable, the R3514 ensures consistent, photographic results and sharp detail across every card issued.

The R3514 is a dedicated consumable designed for use with the following dual-sided Evolis printers:

• Evolis Dualys (Dualys 2 and Dualys 3)

• Evolis Quantum and Quantum 2

Key Features & Benefits

• Seamless Double-Sided Personalisation: The integrated secondary black panel allows for efficient dual-sided printing in a single pass, saving time and reducing card handling.

• Vibrant Colour Reproduction: Provides high-resolution colour results on the front side, perfect for professional staff portraits and corporate branding.

• Built-in Overlay Protection: The clear varnish (O) panel seals the front of the card, protecting the design from UV fading, moisture, and daily surface wear.

Typical Applications

• Employee ID Badges: Print a full-colour photo on the front with emergency contact details or security instructions in black on the reverse.

• Membership Cards: Ideal for cards requiring vivid branding on the front and a scanable barcode or membership terms on the back.

• Loyalty Cards: Perfect for retail environments where the front is used for marketing and the back for customer data.

Maintenance Advice

To maintain the best possible print quality and protect the life of your printer's thermal printheads, it is essential to keep the internal components free from dust. We highly recommend performing a full cleaning cycle using an Evolis cleaning kit every time you install a new R3514 ribbon. This ensures your cards remain free from unprinted streaks or white spots.
