This ribbon has the same ink specifications as the standard full panel YMCKO colour ribbon but the Yellow, Magenta and Cyan are half the length.

The half panel color ribbon is suitable for identification cards featuring a color ID photograph and some black resine printings (for text, logo or barcode) are required.
In many cases, this ribbon is used on blank plastic cards but also on pre-printed plastic cards. The main applications are student ID cards, transportation ID badges, employee ID badges, club membership cards, and driver's licenses.
