The first five panels (YMCKO) print full-colour images, black text, and a protective layer on the front side of the plastic card. The printer then flips the card, and the sixth panel (the second 'K' panel) prints sharp, black text or barcodes onto the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCan I use this ribbon if I only want to print on one side of my cards?\u003c\/b\u003e You can, but it is not recommended. If you use this ribbon for single-sided printing, the second black (K) panel will be wasted on every print cycle. For single-sided cards, using a standard YMCKO ribbon (like the R5F202E100) is the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhich printers work with the R6F203E100 ribbon?\u003c\/b\u003e This ribbon is designed exclusively for the double-sided (Duplex) versions of the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"130\"\u003eEvolis Primacy 2\u003c\/b\u003e card printer.

The reverse side uses a black resin ink panel which bonds deeply into the plastic card but does not receive an overlay varnish coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow should I store this ribbon?\u003c\/b\u003e Keep unused ribbons in their original, unopened packaging in a cool, dry, and dust-free environment (ideally between 10°C and 20°C). Avoid exposing the rolls to direct sunlight, radiators, or high humidity, and aim to use the ribbon within one year of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evolis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43223569563709,"sku":"R6F203E100","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/5020\/files\/R6F203E100Evolis.jpg?v=1779461987","url":"https:\/\/www.pos-hardware.co.uk\/products\/evolis-r6f203e100-ymcko-k-dual-sided-colour-ribbon-200-prints","provider":"Pos-Hardware Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
