Collection: Magicard Ribbons & Color Films
Magicard sells ribbons in families tied to printer models. The letters at the start of the part number are the clue: MA, MB, MC, MN, LC and Prima each belong to a different group of printers. Find your model below and order from that family only.

Choosing a panel layout
YMCKO prints a full color front, black text, and a clear overlay. YMCKOK adds a second black panel for the back, so it needs a dual-sided printer. KO prints black with a protective overlay, a good choice for text-only cards that still need protection. A UV panel prints a hidden image that shows under ultraviolet light.
Magicard calls some of its ribbons "films" (the NEO line). They work the same way as a ribbon: the printer heats each panel to transfer color to the card.
FAQ
Will an MA ribbon fit my Magicard 600?
MA ribbons are listed for the Enduro, Rio Pro and Pronto families, not the 600. For a Magicard 600, order the MB300YMCKO or MC300YMCKO.
What is the difference between Prima433 and Prima434?
Both are 750-print ribbons for the Prima 4. The Prima433 is YMCKK; the Prima434 is YMCK with a UV panel.
Do I need retransfer film?
Only for Prima 4 printers. The Prima431 set includes the matching film.
