Primera Technology 6 user manual Ink Saturation

TOC INDEX

Select PrimaColor to enable color matching profiles written specifically for the CD/DVD Printer 6. The PrimaColor by Candela Color Management System 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.

Select Z-Colorto use a factory set color match scheme that is calibrated toward the inks used in the CD/DVD Printer 6. Note that the color of the CD surface can affect the outcome of the colors and PrimaColor is optimized for white TuffCoat CD's.

Ink Saturation

This option controls the ink saturation of the printed image. When printing onto the printer manufacturer's TuffCoat CD media, this option can be left at its default setting of 50%.

When printing onto other brands of printable CD media, you may need to adjust this control in order to optimize the ink saturation for the printable surface of your specific CD media. Click and drag on the slide's box, or click on the left and right arrows to change the ink saturation setting. Moving the slide's box to the left reduces the overall ink saturation, while moving it to the right increases it.

Print Black using only Black Cartidge

When using the Color+Black Ink Cartridge Setting the printer will apply full cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink to create black. This makes for a very strong black but also uses more ink than using just black. This option will allow to use only the black ink for black areas alowing for more efficient ink usage.

Calibration Options

This section displays options for fine-tuning the position of your printed image, changing the size of a CD's nonprintable center, and also performing a cartridge alignment calibration. The following gives a complete description of each of the Calibration options.

The Inner Diameter adjustment sets the size of the non- printable area at the center of the disc. This is measured in

.1mm units and defaults to 386 which is a standard center size. Making this number smaller will allow you to print closer to the center hub, but be aware that ink printing on non printable surfaces at the center of the disc will not dry and can spin off into a drive.
