Printer Settings and Adjustments

Card Printer Printing Preferences

Black extraction from color images:

-Print black with K panel: Specify the zones as Defined areas, Undefined areas, or Full card.

-Black level: The driver evaluates the RGB values of the card design and looks for an RGB value of 000 in order to determine what should be printed in Black.

Using the Black Panel Options, specify what text or graphics, within your card design, are to be printed via composite (YMC) black, K-Resin black, or both.

Then use Black Level to select RGB values higher than the default of 000, to print with the K-resin panel. This allows the range to be expanded up to 555.

-Area manager: This option is enabled when either the Defined areas (extract inside the zone) or the Undefined areas (extract outside the zone) radio button is selected. Note that a defined area is a zone.

This option is used when a particular area of the card has text or other elements that you want treated as Print black with K panel.

Orientation: Set the card orientation to either Portrait or Landscape.

Units: Set the units to either inches or mm (millimeters)

Area: Use to define, select, move, or resize a zone; use to draw a zone; and use to delete a selected zone.

To create a zone, “drag” the cursor diagonally across the card area (dashed outline) to define the location of the zone. Note that multiple zones can be defined. Dimensions are referenced to the upper-left corner of the card.

The Restore Defaults button restores Advanced Black Panel Options default values.
