Description
Color Matching: There are two selections for color matching in the drop-down list.
• None: Select this option if color correcting the image for printing has already been
done or if using third party color matching software.
• System Color Management: Select this option to allow the printer driver to make color
corrections similar to the Algebraic option but through a more complex color matching
algorithm.
Note: This option shifts colors more radically so the colors in the image will more closely
match how they appear on screen.
This option only affects those objects printed on the backside of a card with any of the
following ribbons selected on the Device Options tab:
• YMCK
• YMCKK
• YMCFK
• YMCKI
Resin Dither: Resin dither is enabled when:
• Using at least one K Panel.
• Selecting both Print Both Sides and Splitting 1 Set Of Ribbon Panels.
• Premium Resin can be used without any additional options required.
Select the appropriate dither method according to the type of image to be printed
• Optimized for Graphics: Select this option when printing lower quality images (e.g.,
clip-art, logos, etc.) with resin.
• Optimized for Photo: Select this option when printing photo quality images with resin.
Dye-Sub Intensity (YMC): This slide controls the overall darkness and lightness of the dye-
sub printed image. This slide only affects those images printed with dye-sublimation (YMC-
type) ribbon panels.
• Moving the slide to the left causes less heat to be used; the prints are lighter.
• Moving the slide to the right cause more heat to be used; the prints are darker.
Resin Heat, Front (K): The heat is controlled for both front and back of cards. This control
can be helpful for fine-tuning the sharpness of resin text and bar codes.
This slide controls amount of heat the printer uses when printing with the resin black panel.
• Moving the slide to the left causes less heat to be used; the resin images are lighter or
less saturated.
• Moving the slide to the left causes more heat to be used; the resin images are darker or
more saturated.
Resin Heat, Back (K): The heat is controlled for both front and back of cards. This control
can be helpful for fine-tuning the sharpness of resin text and bar codes.
This slide controls amount of heat the printer uses when printing with the resin black panel.

less saturated.
