Defining Color for Text and Graphics

The GRAPHIC_COLOR operation defines all of the text and image elements to print using a three-

panel combination of yellow, magenta, and cyan (YMC) at 300 dpi on either side of the card. The

details of text and image elements are children of this layer, contained between

<g id="GRAPHIC_COLOR"> and its corresponding </g>.
