Static Graphic Field
You define a static graphic field to print a graphic, such as your
organization’s logo, on each card. For a list of graphic formats you
can use, see “Background” on page 20.
You can size and rotate static graphic fields. You can also specify
that the graphic appear “ghosted” or semi-transparent. If you apply
the ghosting option, you can specify the degree of opacity for the
graphic.
You can select one color in the graphic to be rendered as
transparent, allowing a card background color to show through.
Static graphics that use ghosting or transparency will not print
correctly if they are on a card side configured to print using only the
K-panel.
Alternatively, you can specify that the graphic be converted to
grayscale and, optionally, printed with the K-panel of the printer
ribbon. See “Printing Graphics with the Card Printer’s K-panel” on
page 134 for complete information.
See the online help topic “Add a static graphic field to a card” for step-
by-step instructions.
Some static graphic field options are not compatible with others. If
you select an option that is not compatible with an option you
previously selected, ID Works Designer will present a message
alerting you to the conflict.
