Dai Nippon Printing is one of the largest printing companies around the world. In the cardprinting business they hold a leading position with printing supplies, as well as re-transfer technics. DNP is a well-known manufacturer of thermal printing systems, including card printers. When it comes to ribbons for DNP card printers, you typically need to match the ribbon type with your specific printer model. Here are a few common types of ribbons used with DNP card printers:

1. YMCKO Ribbons: These are the most common type of ribbons used for full-color printing. YMCKO stands for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and Overlay. This ribbon is used to produce high-quality, full-color images with a protective overlay.

2. YMCKOK Ribbons: Similar to YMCKO, but includes an additional black panel (K) to allow for dual-sided printing with enhanced black text and images. This is useful if you need to print on both sides of the card with high-resolution black details on one side.

3. K-Only Ribbons: These are black-only ribbons used for printing monochrome text or barcodes. They are ideal for printing on plastic cards when only black ink is needed.

4. KO Ribbons: A combination of black and overlay panels, used for high-quality black and white printing with a protective overlay. This is useful for text and simple graphics.

5. Specialty Ribbons: Depending on the printer model and the needs of your project, there may be ribbons for specialty applications such as holographic overlays or color-shifting inks.

Make sure to check your specific DNP printer model to find the exact ribbon it requires. DNP’s website or user manual for your printer model should have detailed information about compatible ribbons.
