What is a half-panel ribbon?

A half-panel YMCKO color ribbon is a dye-sublimation ribbon which has the same ink specifications as the standard or full-panel YMCKO color ribbon. The difference between the standard YMCKO ribbon and the half-panel ribbon is in the Yellow, Magenta and Cyan panels which have a maximum length of 35 mm.

This ribbon is useful and cost-effective if the color-printed area of your layout is no bigger than a logo or an ID picture.
