What sets the Evolis Primacy 2 Easy YMCKO-KO apart
The ribbon is perfectly matched to the print speed and precision of the Evolis Primacy 2. The combination of YMC (color), K (black), and two Overcoat layers (KO) enables single-sided printing with protection. The Overcoat layer protects the printed card surface from everyday wear and tear such as scratches and abrasion. This is especially important for cards that are frequently taken out of wallets or run through card readers. The ribbon is manufactured directly by Evolis and guarantees consistent high print quality throughout the roll's lifespan.
Ideal for...
The ribbon is particularly suitable for businesses, organizations, and public institutions that produce personalized cards in-house. Typical applications include employee badges, membership cards for fitness clubs or libraries, loyalty cards for retail, as well as access and payment cards. It is also optimal for trade shows and events where cards need to be created on-site quickly. The scalability from single prints to 250 cards per roll covers a wide range of needs.
How to use the Evolis Primacy 2 Easy YMCKO-KO
Open the lid of the Evolis Primacy 2 printer fully. Remove any old ribbon by loosening the color spools. Insert the new Easy YMCKO-KO ribbon: ensure the ribbon is taut and the color section is correctly aligned. The color section must point to the left (toward the left spool). Close the lid until it clicks into place. Perform a test print in the printer driver. The ribbon is designed for approximately 250 cards; a warning message appears when the ribbon is running low. If print defects such as streaks or color loss occur, check the correct fit of the ribbon and the printer driver settings.
