HDP8500 Industrial Card Printer/Encoder User Guide L001617 rev 1.1
Section 6: Fluorescent Panel Usage
YMCFK Ribbon for HDP8500 is an economical way to add a fully customizable, incremental
level of security to your photo identification cards. This process allows the user to configure the
data that is printed with the fluorescent panel of an YMCFK Ribbon. (Note: Any software
program may be used to print the special florescent panel of the Ribbon to a card once the
driver and Workbench are set up correctly.)
These Ribbons contain a yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and resin black (K) panels to
create a full color over-the-edge printing identification card. In addition, the Ribbon contains a
dye-based fluorescing panel (F) which will allow you to print a standard or one-to-one
personalized grayscale fluorescing image that is completely invisible until exposed to
ultraviolet light.
There are two (2) methods used to accomplish the creation of a custom fluorescent image when
using the YMCFK Ribbon for the HDP8500.
The first method (described below) uses the Fargo Workbench Printer Utility to create a
static image that will be applied automatically to each card sent to the printer.
The second method (described later in this document) allows the creation of the fluorescent
panel image directly from the badge application software. (Note: This enables the user to
print a unique fluorescent image, such as the card holder‟s picture, on each card.)
