Ribbons

Evolis YMCKOO

The YMCKOO Ribbon for Primacy 2 is designed for high-security applications, such as banking cards, resident cards, health cards, and voter IDs, where both durability and security are critical. The double overlay layer enhances abrasion resistance and provides extra protection against wear. The ability to add UV effects for security makes it a preferred choice for high-security cards, as it helps deter counterfeiting. It is also an ideal solution for cards requiring long-lasting prints without the need for lamination.

Color: YMCKOO (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, Overlay, Overlay)

Overview

The YMCKOO Ribbon for Primacy 2 is designed for single or dual-sided color printing with a unique double overlay layer, providing enhanced protection against wear and tear without the need for lamination.

With a significant improvement in abrasion resistance, this ribbon is perfect for cards requiring long-lasting durability and high-level security.

I worked with Toni Hubbard-Salem to purchase a new badge printer for my company. Toni was phenomenal, and the quote I received was a lot less than the other company I was working with (IDville). The equipment came today and the entire experience couldnt have went smoother. Glad we decided to give them a chance.

We at the Georgetown Police Department have been using the KidPrint system from Total ID Solutions for several years. We use the system to use as identification for kids, and print identification cards for all city employees. We recently upgraded to a new system and Dualys printer. The system is very user friendly and set up is easy…

We use Total ID for our accountability system. Each firefighter has an ID card showing their level of certifications by color, Green – Explorers, Brown – Recruits, Red – Certified Firefighters, Yellow – Officers. This system is used County wide and has been very successful.
