Description
This setting controls the speed and temperature at which printed images are transferred from
the film to the card. These settings may vary depending on the card type.
When the Use Defaults Based on the Film and Selected Card Type option is selected, the
printer driver automatically optimizes these settings according to the card type and film type
previously selected. Changes made to the Dwell Time and Temperature offset settings are
saved for the selected card type option upon exiting the printer driver setup.
Dwell Time (seconds per inch): Sets the speed at which the printed image is transfered from
the HDP film to the card in seconds per inch for each side of the card.
Lower limit = 1 second per inch
Upper limit = 3 seconds per inch
Temperature offset: Sets the temperature at which the printed image is transferred from the
HDP film to the card.
Lower limit: -50
Upper limit: +15
Use Defaults Based on the Film and Selected Card Type: This option is automatically selected.
The printer driver software has default temperature and dwell time settings that deliver the
best transfer for these card types. These defaults are automatically configured, based on the
card type, ribbon type, and whether printing single- or dual-sided.
Note: If you select the wrong option, the incorrect dwell time and temperature may be used
during the image transfer process which results in poor adhesion of the HDP film or card
warping.
Use Premium Mode: Select this option to reduce the transfer temperature and speed to
enhance the image quality.
