XID 8300 Printer Driver

3.4 UV Panel

3.4.1 Introduction

The EDIsecure

XID 8300 printer supports using of YMCK - UV (ultra violet) ribbon as high level security

feature. This feature contains the option to print layout objects with a special patch on the ribbon onto the

card, which is invisible under normal daylight environment. To show this objects, a special UV lamp must be

used.

Yellow Magenta Cyan Carbon (K) Ultra Violet (UV)

Note: A special ribbon type is required to use this option.

Actually two retransfer patches will be used for color and UV print to achieve the best durability against

bleaching effects.

In opposite to the print colors, UV belongs to the additional colors and therefore following basics will help you

getting optimal results. The best reflection effects will be achieved, if the background of the objects is pure

black (RGB: 0,0,0) and the objects itself bright as possible.

3.4.2 Settings

Following setting options are available to extract and define the objects, which shall be placed as 'UV

objects' onto the card: 1. 'Bitmap from file' or 2. 'UV Area + Offset' or 3. 'UV from second page'. In addition,

the position of the 'Security area' can be changed.

UV from 1 retransfer panel

By default the printer will print UV objects on a second retransfer panel for better visibility and longer life time.

In order to save material (one retransfer panel per print) the operator can choose to print YMC + K + UV on a

single retransfer panel.

Settings for “Security area” and “UV from 1 retransfer panel” are independent from other settings in this

section.
