Printing Area Settings

On the Print tab, click Enable the printing area and click
Settings to define non‐printing areas of a card design. Also
use with peel‐off (YMCK‐PO) ribbon.
You can block YMCK printing areas, but the protective layer
from the retransfer material is still applied to the card. To
maintain quality, use the peel‐off feature and peel‐off ribbon
to remove the retransfer material in magnetic stripe, smart
card chip, and hologram areas.
The Printing area dialog box contains settings for x
and y starting coordinates, height and width of print
area, ink type, card side, and energy settings.
You can add up to three non‐printing areas per side.
However, none of the non‐printing areas can
overlap each other.
To define a non‐printing area:
1.
Enter the x and y coordinates of the start position and the height and width in millimeters.
2.
Select 1. Peeloff or 2. YMCK from the Ink list.
3.
Select 1. Front or 2. Back from the Side list.
For ISO magnetic stripes, use the following values:
X start
0
0
4.
Made adjustments to the Peel off ink energy settings (E1, E2, and E3), as needed.
The Peel‐off Ink Energy settings affect the print density or strength of peel‐off.
For best results, use the default settings. The printer driver
sets the width of each area.
5.
Click Add to add the non‐printing area.
