	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 Full-Color YMCKO ribbon, the Color ID Card
	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.
