Technical Specifications
The FA-45100 utilizes a five-panel ribbon design—Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black (resin), and clear overlay—to produce full-color credentials with enhanced durability. The resin black layer ensures barcode readability and text legibility crucial for ID verification systems. The clear overlay provides UV protection and tamper resistance, adding security value to printed credentials.
Ideal Applications
This cartridge is suited for security integrators, system installers, and facilities deploying badge and credential printing systems across corporate offices, government agencies, educational institutions, and secure facility access environments. Organizations with employee badge programs, visitor credential systems, or multi-location access control deployments benefit from the high-volume capacity and consistent print quality.

The FA-45100 addresses a core requirement in enterprise access control: reliable, on-demand credential production. By integrating resin black with YMCKO color, the cartridge eliminates the need for separate monochrome printing passes, reducing operational complexity. The 250-print yield is sufficient for small-to-medium batch operations, making it cost-effective for organizations with fluctuating enrollment demands.
The overlay panel is not merely aesthetic—it significantly extends card lifespan in high-wear environments like badge readers and turnstiles. For security operations, the ability to print barcodes and security features with consistent quality across high volumes justifies selecting Kantech's purpose-built cartridges over generic alternatives. Compatibility with both the DTC4250e and DTC4000 EZ models provides flexibility across Kantech printer deployments.
