Using the Image Color tab
Select the Algebraic color matching option and then use this option to control the Contrast
and Gamma of the printed image, as well as the individual color balance of Yellow, Magenta
and Cyan. (Note: In most cases, the default settings of these options will suffice.)
Step Procedure
1 Control the overall darkness and lightness of the printed image by adjusting the
Dye-Sub Intensity slide by clicking and dragging the slide's box or by clicking on
the left and right arrows.

Move the slide to the left to cause less heat to be used in the printing
process, thus generating a lighter print.

Move the slide to the right to cause more heat to be used, thus generating a
darker print. (Note: This slide only affects those images printed with dye-
sublimation ribbon panels (YMC).)
2 Control the amount of heat the Printer uses when printing with the resin black
panel(s) of a full-color ribbon or when printing with a resin-only ribbon by
adjusting the Resin Heat slide.

Move the slide to the left to cause less heat to be used in the printing
process, causing resin images to be lighter or less saturated.

Move the slide to the right to cause more heat to be used, causing resin
images to be darker or more saturated. (Note: This control can be helpful for
fine-tuning the saturation of resin text and bar codes.)
3 Select the Algebraic color matching option to display and adjust (as needed)
all control options.
OR
Select the None or Monitor option to display only the Dye-Sub Intensity and
Resin Heat sliders.
4 Return all options to their factory settings by clicking on the Default button.
