Advanced Colour Options:
The Advanced Colour Options provide controls for fine tuning the
colour output of the printer. The card design can de darkened,
lightened, made brighter or appear faded, even specific colour
levels can be adjusted by changing the position of the colour
strength sliders.
The preview picture at the top of the window will show the results of
any adjustments.
Note: All colours in an image design are a mixture of red, green
and blue (RGB). So any change in the strength of one of these 3
colours (RGB) will affect every colour that is composed using
the changed colour, so the results may not be as expected; for
this reason it is recommended that colour control and colour
strength sliders remain at their default settings.
The Advanced Tab:
The Advanced Tab allows the customization of some of the advanced technical settings related to colour correctness
and image positioning on the printed card.
Colour Control:
The Colour Correction options provide software ‘Gamma Curves’ to
correct for different characteristics of thermal printheads and dye-films.
Three choices are available - None, Gamma 1, and Gamma 2. It is
recommended that the setting is left on the default Gamma 1 option
(which gives more accurate colour reproduction).
