3.10.1 Using the Image Quality – Color Matching

Step

Procedure

Select

None

(a) if interested in print speed rather than print color,
(b) if color correcting the image for printing has already been done or
(c) if using third party color matching software.

OR
Select

System Color Management to allow the Printer Driver to make color corrections similar to the

Algebraic option but through a more complex color matching algorithm.

Note: This option shifts colors

so the image more closely matches how they appear on screen.

Control the overall darkness and lightness of the dye-sub printed image by adjusting the

Dye-Sub

Intensity slide.
Move the slide to the left to use less heat in the printing process, thus generating a lighter print.
OR
Move the slide to the right to use more heat, thus generating a darker print.
Note: This slide only affects those images printed with dye-sublimation Ribbon Panels (YMC).

Control the amount of heat the Printer uses when printing with the resin black Panel by adjusting the

Resin Heat slide.
Move the slide to the left for using less heat in the printing process, causing resin images to be lighter

or less saturated.
OR
Move the slide to the right for using more heat, causing resin images to be darker or more saturated.
(

Note: This control can be helpful for fine-tuning the sharpness of resin text and bar codes.)

As needed, return all options to their factory settings by clicking on the

Default button.

3.10.2 Adjusting for the Resin Dither

Select the appropriate dither method according to the type of image to be printed. (Note: This

option only affects those objects printed on the backside of a card with the resin black Panel of an

YMCK YMCKK and YMCKI Print Ribbon. This is enabled when using at least one K panel and

dual sided enabled, splitting one set of panels.)
