The Evolis VBDG204EU is the essential all-in-one colour ribbon designed specifically for the Evolis Badgy range. This YMCKO ribbon (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and Overlay) allows you to produce professional, photo-quality identification cards from your desktop with ease.

As a genuine Evolis High Trust® consumable, the VBDG204EU ensures vibrant, true-to-life colour reproduction for employee portraits and corporate logos. The ribbon includes a clear protective Overlay (O) panel that is applied automatically during the printing process, sealing the card surface to protect your designs from UV fading, moisture, and daily handling.

Maintenance Advice

To ensure the longevity of your Badgy printer and maintain consistent print quality, it is essential to clean the machine regularly. We recommend performing a cleaning cycle every time you replace the VBDG204EU ribbon to prevent dust from creating unprinted white spots or streaks on your finished cards.
