The Magicard Prima434 ribbon is a YMCK-UV dye film. It is used in tangent with Magicard PRIMA436 retransfer film that is not included with this ribbon. This color ribbon will print 750 cards on one side, or 375 cards printed on both sides. This is a YMCK-UV ribbon, which means it has a Yellow panel, Magenta panel, Cyan panel, Resin Black panel a UV panel and then starts again with the Yellow panel. A YMCK-UV ribbon will only print 750 cards, even if only black is printed on the back side of the card. Currently, this ribbon is the only ribbon available to print UV on the card with a PRIMA 4 printer. If you wish to print color without the UV on the front and black only on the back of the cards, look for a YMCKK ribbon such as the Magicard PRIMA 433 ribbon. This ribbon is for a retransfer printer, which initially prints the image onto a film ribbon, then transfers the film onto the card. For this reason, there is no overlay panel on the dye film ribbon because the transfer film acts as an overlay panel. f
