3.3.1 Ribbon Type

Used to match the ribbon type selection with the ribbon type that is loaded in the printer.

YMC- Yellow, Magenta, Cyan

YMCK – Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Resin Black

YMCKH- Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Resin Black, Heat Seal

3.3.2 Color Matching

Allows selection of the Color Matching option that best fits the requirements of the print job.

Select None if interested in print speed rather than print color, if color correcting the image for printing has already been done, or if using third party Color Matching software.

Select Algebraic to allow the printer driver to make very simple, fast, color balance adjustments. This option gives a natural-looking image without slowing down the processing speed of the printer driver. It also allows further customization of the printed color of the cards through the Image Color tab.

Select Monitor to allow the printer driver to make color corrections similar to the Algebraic option but through a more complex color matching algorithm. This option shifts colors more radically so the colors in the image will more closely match how they appear on screen.

3.3.3 Resin Dither

This option only affects those objects printed on the backside of a card with the resin black panel of a YMCK or YMCKK print ribbon. Select the appropriate dither method according to the type of image to be printed.

Select Photo if printing photo quality images with resin.

Select Graphics if printing lower quality images (i.e. clipart, logos, etc.) with resin.
