Fluorescent Panel Usage
The YMCFK ribbon is an economical way to add a fully customizable, incremental level of security to
photo identification cards. This process allows the user to configure the data that is printed with the
fluorescent panel of an YMCFK Ribbon.
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.
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 printing a standard or one-to-one personalized gray-scale
fluorescing image that is completely invisible until exposed to ultraviolet light.
There are two (2) methods used to accomplish the creation of a custom fluorescent image when using
the YMCFK ribbon.
• The first method uses the Workbench to create a static image that will be applied automatically
to each card sent to the printer.
• The second method allows the creation of the fluorescent panel image directly from the badge
application software. This enables the user to print a unique fluorescent image, such as the card
holder’s picture, on each card.
