| Select Algebraic if you would like the printer |
| driver to make very simple, yet fast, color balance |
| adjustments. This option gives you more natural |
| looking images without actually utilizing any |
| specific color matching software and without |
| slowing down the processing speed of the printer |
| driver. When selected, this color matching method |
| can be customized by selecting the Controls button. |
| The FargoColor™ option is only available when the |
| printerÕs optional color matching software upgrade |
| has been installed. Select this option to enable color |
| matching profiles written specifically for your |
| printer. The FargoColor option automatically |
| adjusts the color of your image according to |
| preconfigured printer profiles and default system |
| profiles. This results in a very precise color match |
| compliant with ICC standards. Please note that |
| since the FargoColor option is intended to match |
| photographic color hues as closely as possible, you |
| may notice that some colors may appear slightly |
| muted when printing simple spot colors. |
Dither Mode | This option only effects objects printed with a |
| monochrome resin ribbon type or those objects |
| printed with the monochrome resin panel of a full- |
| color ribbon. Click on the Dither Mode down |
| arrow and select the appropriate dither method |
| according to the type of image you are printing. |
Overlay | This option is only applicable if you are using a |
| ribbon with a clear overlay panel. If using such a |
| ribbon, select this option to enable the printer to |
| place a clear overlay over the entire printable area |
| of the given card size. Do not select this option, |
| however, if you are not using a ribbon with a clear |
| overlay panel or if you intend to apply a separate |
| overlaminate to the card. Remember that all dye- |
| sublimation prints must have either the ribbonÕs |
| overlay or a separate overlaminate applied to them |
| to prevent premature wear or fading. |
K Panel Graphics | In most application programs, when printing with |
| a |
| Printer driver prints all bitmapped images with the |
| ribbonÕs yellow, magenta, and cyan color panels |
| (YMC). Any black contained in these bitmapped |
| images is printed by combining equal amounts of |
| yellow, magenta, and cyan. This type of black is |
| called a ÒcompositeÓ black. The resin black (K) |
| panel of the ribbon is only used when printing |
| TrueType black text and TrueType bar codes. |
