The Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan panels are half the length of a standard card. By only using colour where it is strictly needed (like a small photo or logo), the manufacturer can pack more panel sets onto a single roll, offering 400 prints instead of the standard 200 or 300, lowering your cost-per-card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhere can I position the colour and black elements on the card?\u003c\/b\u003e The full-colour elements (such as ID photos) must be positioned within a defined 50% area of the card (usually the left or right half). However, because the Black (K) and clear Overlay (O) panels are full-sized, you can print text, serial numbers, and barcodes anywhere across the entire surface of the card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhich printers work with the R5H204E100 ribbon?\u003c\/b\u003e This ribbon is designed exclusively for the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"92\"\u003eEvolis Primacy 2\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"113\"\u003eEvolis Zenius 2\u003c\/b\u003e ID card printers.
