Print Ribbon
Color printing uses a print ribbon with
three color panels: Y (yellow), M (magenta),
and C (cyan). The ribbon also includes a
black (K) panel and a topcoat (T) panel. The
printer applies the YMC color panels to the card first, prints black components
using the K panel, and then applies the topcoat (T), which helps protect the color
image from damage.
