Print Tab
The Print tab contains settings for using the color (YMC)
panels, black (K) panels and additional panels of the print
ribbon. The tab also has controls for color adjustment,
setting up a look up table, setting up page split, and
dithering. Refer to"Page Split" on page
information.
To print text, bar codes, or both, using black (K) ink on a
card using an ink ribbon with YMCK panels, select
Extraction > Only text.
To print black areas of graphics with K ink ribbon, select Extraction > All.
If you print graphics with black ink, you can set the density of dithering by clicking the Dither
button.
If your printer includes a turnover unit for two‐sided printing, you can specify whether to print on
both sides of the card. For each side, you can select the ribbon panels to use and whether to
rotate the image (your ID software might specify these settings, which override the Print tab).
Use ribbon panels such as peel‐off or UV only if the ribbon includes them and your ID software
sends data for them. (Sending data for panels that are not present causes errors.)
Use the Printing area settings to block a specific area from printing, such as an area for peel‐off
ribbon. Use the UV Ink settings if you use print ribbon with a UV panel.
Look Up Table
The look up table adjusts printing by substituting one color
for another. It is sent to the printer, where the values are
used as the card is printed.
The look up table requires a file with a full set of 256 values
(0–255) for each plane, in order, for yellow, magenta, cyan,
and black (1024 values). Each field can have a value from 0
through 255. Data must be ASCII numeric values, separated
by a comma or line feed.
