Evolis R5F002EAA YMCKO Colour Ribbon – 200 Prints – For Zenius & Primacy Printers

The Evolis R5F002EAA is a premium, all-in-one colour ribbon cassette designed specifically for the latest generation of Evolis desktop printers. Utilising the standard YMCKO five-panel configuration (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and Overlay), this ribbon allows users to produce professional, photo-quality ID badges with vibrant colours and crisp detail.

As a genuine Evolis High Trust® consumable, the R5F002EAA ensures consistent print quality from the first card to the last. Each print is finished with a clear protective varnish—the Overlay (O)—which shields the card design from UV fading, moisture, and daily surface wear. This ensures your identification cards remain durable and professional in appearance for their entire lifespan.

Printer Compatibility

This ribbon is a dedicated consumable designed for the following Evolis models:

• Evolis Zenius / Zenius Expert

Key Features & Benefits

• Vivid Photographic Quality: Specially formulated dyes provide high-resolution results with natural skin tones and rich colours, ideal for staff, student, and member identification.

• Smart Recognition Technology: The ribbon cassette features an integrated RFID chip that communicates with the printer to automatically configure settings and provide real-time updates on remaining ribbon capacity.

• Built-in Card Protection: The clear overlay panel provides a vital barrier against physical abrasion and colour migration, significantly extending the life of the plastic card.

• Precision Black Resin: The dedicated black (K) panel ensures that barcodes are high-contrast and easy to scan, while fine text and logos remain sharp and legible.

Maintenance Advice

To maintain the best possible print results and ensure the longevity of your Zenius or Primacy printer, it is highly recommended to perform a cleaning cycle every time you replace the R5F002EAA ribbon. This prevents dust and debris from settling on the thermal printhead, which can cause streaks or unprinted spots on your finished cards.
