4.2.2 Selecting the Fluorescent Panel Ribbon Type
The YMCFKO/YMCFKOK Ribbon is an economical way to add a fully customizable,
incremental level of security to your photo identification cards.
• Process: This process allows you to configure the data that is printed with the
fluorescent panel of an YMCFKO/YMCFKOK Ribbon.
Note: Any software program may be used to print the special florescent panel of the
Ribbon to a card once the Driver and Workbench are set up correctly.
• Ribbons: These Ribbons contain a yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and resin black
(K) panels to create a full color over-the-edge printing identification card. In addition, the
Ribbon contains a dye-based fluorescing panel (F) which will allow you to print a
standard or one-to-one personalized fluorescing image that is completely invisible until
exposed to ultraviolet light.
4.2.3 Creating a Custom Fluorescent Image (using the YMCFKO Ribbon)
There are three (3) methods used to accomplish the creation of a custom fluorescent image
when using the YMCFKO Ribbon.
• First Method: The first method uses the FARGO Workbench Printer Utility to create a
static image that will be applied automatically to each card sent to the Printer. Refer to
the Help file for the FARGO Workbench Utility Program and User Guide.
• Second Method: The second method (described below) allows the creation of the
fluorescent panel image directly from the badge application software.
Note: You can now print a unique fluorescent image, such as the card holder’s picture on
each card.
• Third Method: The third method is described in the Asure ID Software User Guide.
