20 Elements of Card Design
Printing Design
Printing design includes color and monochrome printing, bar code printing, non-printing areas,
and card layout.
Color Printing
Color print ribbon is available in full-panel and short-panel styles.
Full-Panel Ribbon
Full-panel color printing uses a print ribbon with three
color panels: Y (yellow), M (magenta), and C (cyan). The
ribbon also includes a K (black) panel and a T (topcoat)
panel. The printer applies the YMC color panels to the
card first, prints black components using the K panel,
and then applies the T (topcoat) to protect the color
image from damage.
Refer to the XPS Card Printer Driver User’s Guide or your card personalization software
documentation for more information about setting up a card design.
