Appendix A

Selecting the Fluorescent Panel Ribbon Type (DTC4250e only)

Fluorescent dye color is bright when black light is applied to it. The YMCFKO/YMCFKOK ribbon is an
economical way to add a fully customizable, incremental level of security to your photo identification cards.
This process allows you to configure the data that is printed with the fluorescent panel of an
YMCFKO/YMCFKOK Ribbon.
Note: Any software program may be used to print the special florescent panel of the Ribbon to a card once
the driver and Workbench are set up correctly.
These ribbons contain a yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and resin black (K) panels to create a full color
over-the-edge printing identification card. In addition, the ribbon contains a dye-based fluorescing panel (F)
which will allow you to print a standard or one-to-one personalized fluorescing image that is completely
invisible until exposed to ultraviolet light.
Check Invert F-Panel Image to create a negative of the fluorescent image. This option refers to the ability to
cause light or white areas of the image to fluoresce and for dark colors to remain dark on the printed card
when exposed to an ultraviolet light. By default, the dark areas of the image fluoresce on the card. Lighter or
white areas have no dye applied.
