Black Panel Preheat Temperature offset applied across the entire head, specifically for K
panel printing. A higher value results in better resin transfer on the leading edge of graphics
and text than you would get with a cold start, but it may lead to undesirable blooming
(indefinite edges) overall.
Contrast Adjust A subtle color printing control, allows the user to shape the printer’s
lightness curve. This means the ability to control how the printer resolves, or differentiates, the
lighter and darker shades. Between contrast settings of 0 and 100, the lightness curve
transitions from linear to sinusoidal. Linear (0%) tends to result in a low contrast, muddy
looking image. Sinusoidal (100%) gives mostly good results, but tends to sacrifice the lightest
and darkest shades. For most purposes, select 80% and leave it there.
Flip Station Routines
To access the Advanced Utilities screen, select Start > Printers (or Printers and Faxes). Right

Flip Test 1 Picks up a card, runs it to the flip station, flips it, raises it to the laminator infeed,
then ejects it through the laminator. The sequence repeats until the PRINT button is pressed
and released.
Flip Test 2 Picks up a card, runs it to the flip station, flips it, returns it to the platen, then
backs it out to the card sensor (by the mag head). The sequence repeats until the PRINT button
is pressed and released.
Note • The printer must be power cycled for any Contrast Adjustments to take effect.
