When the Algebraic color matching option is selected, this option allows control of the Contrast and
Gamma
of the printed image, as well as the individual color balance of Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan.
See Figure 3-3. When the None or Monitor option is selected, only the Dye-Sub Intensity and Resin
Heat sliders will display.
To control the overall darkness and lightness of the dye-sub printed image, adjust the Dye-Sub
Intensity
slide by clicking and dragging the slide's box. Moving the slide to the left causes less heat to
be used in the printing process, thus generating a lighter print. Moving the slide to the right causes
more heat to be used, thus generating a darker print. This slide only affects those images printed with
dye-sublimation ribbon panels (YMC).
To control the amount of heat the printer uses when printing with the resin black panel, adjust the
Resin Heat
slide. Moving the slide to the left causes less heat to be used in the printing process,
causing resin images to be lighter or less saturated. Moving the slide to the right causes more heat to
be used, causing resin images to be darker or more saturated. This control can be helpful for fine-
tuning the sharpness of resin text and bar codes.
To return all options to their factory settings, click on the Default button.
