    Printing Design Printing design includes color and monochrome printing, bar code printing, non-printing areas, and card layout. Color Printing Color print ribbon is available in full-panel and short-panel styles. Full-Panel Ribbon Full-panel color printing uses a print ribbon with three Full-panel YMCKT Ribbon color panels: Y (yellow), M (magenta), and C (cyan).

  • Page 33: Short-Panel Ribbon

    The printer can print text in any color. Small characters are likely to be more readable if they are a sans-serif font formatted as black and printed with the black (K) panel. Refer to “Print Text in Monochrome” page 23. The printer supports 6-point or larger text. SD260L/SD360/SD460 Installation and Administrator’s Guide...

  • Page 34: Print Graphics In Color

    Print Graphics in Color The printer produces full-color images from most types of graphics. It can use BMP, JPEG, TIFF, and PNG file formats for photos and logos. Vector graphics, such as WMF and SVG files, have components such as shapes with lines and fills. Components defined as black normally print with the K panel.

  • Page 35: Monochrome Ribbon

    Monochrome Ribbon—Green Ribbon Saver Continuous monochrome printing with Datacard-certified ribbon uses the Ribbon Saver feature. With Ribbon Saver, the printer begins using ribbon at a location that corresponds to the leading edge of the card. The printer continues to spool ribbon for the length of the image but no farther.

  • Page 36: Print Bar Codes

    Print Bar Codes Bar code design follows a set of standards based on the type of bar code produced. Bar codes contain a series of black lines (bars) separated by white areas (spaces). Each character of encoded data is represented by a set of bars and spaces. A bar code standard specifies the number and width of bars and spaces needed to encode a character.
