Section 12: Fluorescent Panel Usage

Fargo YMCFK Ribbon for HDP5000 is an economical way to add a fully customizable,
incremental level of security to your photo identification cards. This process allows the user
to configure the data that is printed with the fluorescent panel of an YMCFK Ribbon. (Note:
Any software program may be used to print the special florescent panel of the Ribbon to a
card once the driver and Workbench are set up correctly.)
• These Ribbons contain a yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and resin black (K) panels to
create a full color over-the-edge printing identification card. In addition, the Ribbon
contains a dye-based fluorescing panel (F) which will allow you to print a standard or one-
to-one personalized grayscale fluorescing image that is completely invisible until exposed
to ultraviolet light.
There are two (2) methods used to accomplish the creation of a custom fluorescent image
when using the YMCFK Ribbon for the HDP5000.
• The first method (described below) uses the Fargo Workbench Printer Utility to create a
static image that will be applied automatically to each card sent to the printer.
• The second method (described later in this document) allows the creation of the
fluorescent panel image directly from the badge application software. (Note: This enables
the user to print a unique fluorescent image, such as the card holder's picture, on each
card.)
