Using the Dual Pass and Invert F-Panel Image options
See Using the YMCFK Ribbon in the Workbench procedure in the Fargo Workbench Printer
Utility section.
• Dual Pass option: This refers to the fact that the fluorescing ink can be applied to a
separate transfer panel. (Note: First, the YMC ink is applied to a Transfer Panel; then,
the F and possibly K are applied to a separate Transfer Panel. If this is not done, the
fluorescent ink tends to mix with the YMC colors and lose its fluorescent qualities; it also
tends to become visible.)
The User may want to avoid using this dual pass capability if the fluorescent ink is used
in places (where other ink is not present) in order to save Transfer Ribbon.
• Invert F-Panel option: This refers to the ability to cause dark colors to appear light and
light colors to appear dark. (Note: This was requested because the fluorescent ink color
is bright when black light is applied to it. Often, monochrome pictures are used to design
the panel; in these pictures, the User intends the black color to fluoresce while the white
background does not fluoresce.)
The User can select the Invert F-Panel option to cause the black in the design to show
as light on the card.
