Full-Colour Images Per Roll Single-sided, 5.5″ × 3.46″ cards · Zebra ZC10L only
The Zebra 800010-140 is a genuine OEM YMCO dye-sublimation ribbon engineered exclusively for the Zebra ZC10L large-format card and badge printer. Each roll delivers up to 400 full-colour, photo-quality images with crisp edge-to-edge coverage on large-format 5.5-inch × 3.46-inch plastic cards. The clear Overlay (O) panel applies a durable protective coating that resists fading, scratching, and everyday wear — keeping credentials, event badges, and access passes looking sharp longer.
What Does YMCO Mean?
The Zebra 800010-140 is a 4-panel dye-sublimation ribbon. Each print cycle lays down four sequential panels to produce a complete, full-colour image with a protective finish.
Y Yellow Dye panel — contributes warm tones and full-spectrum colour gamut
M Magenta Dye panel — produces reds, pinks, and blended mid-tones
C Cyan Dye panel — delivers blues, greens, and cooler colour ranges
O Overlay Clear protective topcoat — guards against UV, scratching, and fading

Frequently Asked Questions
How many images does the Zebra 800010-140 ribbon print?
The Zebra 800010-140 YMCO ribbon yields up to 400 full-colour, single-sided images per roll when used in the Zebra ZC10L large-format card printer. This yield is based on standard 5.5″ × 3.46″ plastic card prints.
Which printer is the Zebra 800010-140 compatible with?
The Zebra 800010-140 is exclusively compatible with the Zebra ZC10L large-format card and badge printer. It is not designed for use in any other Zebra printer model.
What does YMCO mean on a Zebra ribbon?
YMCO stands for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Overlay. The Y, M, and C panels are dye-sublimation panels that combine to produce full-spectrum, photo-quality color prints. The O (Overlay) panel deposits a clear protective topcoat that resists scratching, UV fading, and everyday abrasion.
What card size does this ribbon print on?
When loaded in the Zebra ZC10L, this ribbon prints on large-format plastic cards measuring 5.5 inches × 3.46 inches (140 mm × 88 mm) at 24 mil thickness. These cards are significantly larger than a standard CR80 credit-card-size ID card.
What print technology does the Zebra 800010-140 use?
The ribbon uses dye-sublimation (dye-sub) thermal transfer technology. Heat from the printer's printhead causes dye molecules in the ribbon to vaporize and diffuse into the card surface, producing smooth, continuous-tone color with no visible dots — resulting in photo-quality output at 300 DPI.
Does the Zebra 800010-140 include a black resin panel?
No. The 800010-140 is a YMCO ribbon and does not include a black resin (K) panel. Black areas in your design are reproduced by combining the Y, M, and C dye panels (composite black). If sharp black text or barcodes are required, a separate Zebra monochrome black ribbon is recommended.
What is the part number for the Zebra ZC10L YMCO colour ribbon?
The official Zebra part number is 800010-140 (also referenced without the hyphen as 800010140). Always use this part number when ordering to ensure you receive the genuine OEM ribbon.
