Description
Select one of the following options from the drop-down menu.
None:
• If interested in print speed rather than print color
• If color correcting an image that has been previously printed
• If using third-party color matching software.
System Color Management: Allows the printer driver to make color corrections
through a complex color-matching algorithm.
Note: This option shifts colors so the image more closely matches how they
appear on screen.
Algebraic: to use the Algebraic color-matching algorithm.
Resin Dither is available when the resin ribbon is installed. This process produces
different shades of gray by varying the patterns of black and white dots. There are
no gray dots at all.
There are two selections available:
• Optimized for Graphics
• Optimized for Photos
Adjusting this slide controls the overall darkness and lightness of the dye-sub
printed image.
Move the slide to the left to use less heat in the printing process, resulting in a
lighter print.
Move the slide to the right to use more heat, resulting in a darker print.
Note: This slide only affects those images printed with dye-sublimation ribbon
panels (YMC).
Adjusting this slide controls the amount of heat the printer uses when printing
with the resin black panel.
Move the slide to the left to use less heat in the printing process, resulting in a
lighter or less saturated print.
Move the slide to the right to use more heat, resulting in a darker or more
saturated print.
Note: This control can be helpful for fine-tuning the sharpness of resin text and
bar codes.
Move the slider to the left to use less heat on the overlay during the printing
process. Move the slider to the right to use more heat.
Clicking this opens the Advanced Image Color window.
