The Front K extraction and Back K extraction buttons will become active when the ribbon type
and ribbon combination supports a black (K) panel for both the front and back (e.g., a YMCKK ribbon
type and a YMCK Front/ K Back ribbon combination).
The Black Panel Options window enables
the adjustment of the black (K) panel when
the installed ribbon type is equipped with a K
panel on the same side as the YMC panels (e.g.
YMCK Front / K Back).
The Black Panel Options for the front and back
are the same.
To print black during the print process, equal
amounts of process colors Y, M, and C (printer
ribbon panels) are delivered, with maximum
intensity, to create a near-black image.
However, this “composite” image appears as
a dark shade of gray and may not be suitable
for elements such as barcodes. For example, a
visually-black barcode printed with Y, M and C
will not be detectable by most barcode readers
and is not a true visible black color.
The remedy for this is to “extract the black.” In
other words, print the same text, graphics, or
barcode, using the K (black) panel, on top of
the YMC barcode. (You can also choose to print
only in K, omitting YMC from that region.)
Depending on the application used to design
the card layout, different elements of the card image may be identied in different ways to the printer
driver. The printer driver needs to recognize four types of basic elements:
y Black text
y Black (monochrome) graphics—lines, circles, rectangles, and area lls
