ribbons have resin black followed by varnish pan
-
els, both limited to monochrome data. Second, the
primary use of varnish is to protect the dye sublima
-
tion imaging from ultraviolet radiation. Third, be
-
cause resin may need no varnish protection, an
inverted-resin bit-map can apply varnish.
The IV command has a parameter setting to pro
-
duce an inverted data print. In summary, leave the
resin buffer unchanged after printing resin. Then, is
-
sue an IV command for inverted data to print the
varnish. Note that full-coverage varnish, as required
for ultraviolet protection using dye-sublimation
black ribbons, requires only a buffer clear com
-
mand (F) followed by the inverted print command.
A watermark simulation can result by, in effect,
punching holes in the varnish image. A hologram
transfer from an associated ribbon occurs by
printing a varnish buffer that images the area of the
ribbon containing the hologram. Both of these im-
ages require data previously downloaded into the
Varnish buffer.
Monochrome graphic objects can download
into either the resin or varnish buffer. As with the
preceding, a “v” preface designates a buffer that
prints with the “IV” command, and commands
without the “v” preface designate a buffer that
prints with the “I” command. Commands exist for
downloads of the following graphic objects:
P/vP Write Dot
L/vL Write Line
C/vC Write Box
D/vD Write Diagonal Line
T/vT Write Text
B/vB Write Bar-Code
