4.7.1 Image Quality
The Image Quality area includes two fields, Color Matching and Resin Dither.
Color Matching – Three options are available:
None – Select:
(a) if interested in print speed rather than print color
(b) if color correcting an image that has been previously printed, or
(c) if using third-party color matching software
System Color Management – Select to perform color correction through a complex color-matching
algorithm.
Note: This option shifts colors so they more closely match how they appear on screen.
Algebraic
– Select to use the Algebraic color-matching algorithm.
Dither – Select the appropriate dither method according to the type of image to be printed. Graphics
include images such as drawings, clipart and logos. Photos include images such as photographs
and photo-quality images. This option affects objects printed with a resin-only ribbon.
4.7.2 Heat
The Heat area includes sliders for adjusting the temperature when printing with various types of
ribbons:
Dye-Sub Intensity (YMC) – Control the overall darkness and lightness of the dye-sub printed image
by moving the slider to the left to use less heat in the printing process, resulting in a lighter print.
Move the slider to the right to use more heat, resulting in a darker print.
Note: This slide only affects those images printed with dye-sublimation ribbon panels (YMC).
Resin Heat, Front (K) – Move the slider to the left to use less heat in the printing process, resulting
in a lighter or less saturated print. Move the slider to the right to use more heat, resulting in a darker
or more saturated print.
Note: This control can be helpful for fine-tuning the sharpness of resin text and bar codes.
Resin Heat, Back (K) – Move the slider to the left to use less heat in the printing process, resulting
in a lighter or less saturated print. Move the slider to the right to use more heat, resulting in a darker
or more saturated print.
Overlay Heat (O) – Move the slider to the left to use less heat in the printing process. Move the
slider to the right to use more heat.
