Engineered for dependable, high-volume card printing, the Fargo Dye Sublimation, Thermal Transfer Ribbon Cartridge - YMCKO - 1 Each delivers vivid, durable color output with every batch. Built for reliability and productivity, this YMCKO ribbon cartridge supports up to 350 printed images, enabling long print runs between changes. The fusion of dye sublimation and thermal transfer technologies provides rich color fidelity, sharp image details, and strong card performance across a range of applications—from employee badges to event passes and membership cards. Whether you’re outfitting a small business or a larger organization, this cartridge is designed to meet demanding print schedules while maintaining consistent image quality across batches. With Fargo’s proven print technology, you can trust steady throughput, minimal waste, and professional results you can count on for every credential you issue.

  • Performance and productivity: Designed for high-volume environments, this Fargo YMCKO ribbon keeps production moving. With a capacity of up to 350 images, it minimizes ribbon changes during busy shifts, reducing downtime and keeping your ID issuance on schedule. The cartridge is optimized for Fargo card printers that support YMCKO ribbons, ensuring smooth feeding, stable color transfer, and reliable results across a wide range of card stock and thickness. For organizations issuing employee IDs, visitor passes, loyalty cards, and access credentials, the extended run length translates into faster credential issuance, fewer interruptions, and a smoother security workflow.
  • Vibrant YMCKO color with durable overlay: The YMCKO color ribbon cartridge provides a full-color solution—Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and Overlay. This combination enables vibrant, photo-like images with crisp text and scannable barcodes. The overlay layer adds a protective finish that guards against wear, abrasion, and fading in everyday use. The end result is more durable badges that withstand daily handling, exposure to light, moisture, and routine wear—ideal for front-desk access cards, event passes, and long-term employee credentials where legibility and color quality matter most.
  • Advanced print technology: Dye sublimation paired with thermal transfer delivers smooth gradients, accurate color reproduction, and sharp fine details. The dye-sub layer deposits color in precise micro-dots, creating high-fidelity portraits and logos, while the thermal transfer component locks the color in place for durability. This combination minimizes color bleeding and banding, ensuring consistent output across batches. For organizations requiring repeatable color for branding, portraits, and security graphics, this ribbon provides reliable, high-quality results across multiple print cycles.
  • Ease of use and compatibility: The cartridge is designed for straightforward installation and replacement. It ships as a single, ready-to-load unit—no complicated setup required. The ribbon is optimized for Fargo printers that support YMCKO ribbons, ensuring smooth loading, proper alignment, and dependable color transfer.

  • Cost efficiency and reliability: While delivering vibrant color output, the YMCKO ribbon is built for long life and dependable performance, supporting a lower total cost of ownership. Fewer ribbon changes mean less downtime and reduced operator effort during runs. The 1 Each cartridge simplifies replenishment and ensures you always have a ready supply. In addition, robust construction minimizes ribbon jams or misfeeds, which can disrupt production.

Difficult to assemble, but a good basic divider
Color: Beige, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I bought this to use as a background for when I have video calls. I wish I'd ordered the 6- or even 8-panel to block a little more, but that's my own error. It still covers a good portion of the room, so I'll make do, or maybe buy another at a later date to expand it. It looks ok, if a little plain. The fabric panels have creases in them from being folded and will need to be steamed or ironed out for a nicer look. It would be easy to make your own panels as well, if you're so inclined. The construction is decent. The frame is lightweight and if you don't angle the base supports the right way it may tip over if you extend it too far. The fabric panels aren't the highest quality, but are sturdy enough. They seem like they would handle being thrown in the wash well. The only issue I have with it is that it was so difficult to put together. The push latches that connect the poles don't push it well and hurt my hands. The fabric panels are sized to be extremely taut, which makes it very difficult to get them on the bars without forcing the bar to bend slightly. Overall, this is a good divider if you're looking for something simple and functional without being too worried about aesthetic. It's also a good, inexpensive base if you want to make your own custom panels.

Great Room divider
Color: Beige, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
Works well in separating my kids play area from my computer/office room. Easy to put together, height is perfect somewhat sturdy, looks great, light weight, not good if you are using it as a door, but if it is to stay in place than it is stable enough.

Exactly what I needed
Color: Black, Size: 34"- 3 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
It was easy to put together even without a power drill. Completely opaque. Only a very small slit between poles. I plan to add black electrical tape, but that's because I don't want nosies peeking through to see my screen. The height is beautiful. I was afraid it wouldn't be as tall as I needed. But it is perfect. I share a small office with a good buddy of mine. People passing by our door is distracting and invites them to speak to me. I needed something that would stop the former and prevent the latter, especially when I'm deep in concentration mode. The two panels are enough to block outsiders and the third panel I will employ when I can't even be disturbed by my officemate. It's the fastest and easiest signal not to disrupt me at all. 10/10

Packaging contents
Color: Grey, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
Item is as described however this one appeared to be open and some parts possibly used. Example pole packaging mislabeled one had the letter K as a part there is no letter K item in the instructions. Another pole part had a taped on letter A which is completely different from the others thus indicating that it was opened or substituted. Finally after the partition was completely put together one of the bottom screw connection anchors came out making the partition unable to stand. I'm going to have to rig something up in order to get the anchor connected to the bottom panel. In closure the partion could be very acceptable and do the job if it was new and parts labeled correctly. I have pictures of all parts and packaging errors. Would buy again if new. I'm going to pursue some kind of compensation.

Great product
Color: Grey, Size: 34"- 6 Panel
This room divider is great. It was easy to put together. I was worried about it standing up right and not falling over. It stays up perfectly and is very easy to move and adjust to the shape I want it. Also, from one of the videos I watched it looked like the fabric was puckered in the panels. That is not the case at all. The fabric fits tightly in each panel for a nice smooth look. I would definitely recommend this and would buy again if needed.
