3.8 K-Panel Resin Tab

Use the K-Panel Resin tab to control where the resin black (K) panel of a full-color ribbon is printed. If
printing with a ribbon type that does not have a K-Panel, all K-Panel Resin options will be disabled.
Resin black text is desirable due to its sharp, saturated color (good for barcodes). By default, the
printer driver will print all True-type black text and True-type barcodes with the resin black (K) panel
of the print ribbon.
If printing black text or barcodes that are not True-type, select a Print All Black with K Panel option.
The printer driver will print areas of the image where it finds black coloring with the print ribbon resin
black (k) panel as specified by selected options.
