HDP8500 Industrial Card Printer/Encoder User Guide L001617 rev 1.1
Using the Dual Pass and Invert F-Panel Image options
See Configuring Fluorescent Data (F-Panel for YMCFK Ribbon) using the Workbench
procedure in the Fargo Workbench Printer Utility section.
Dual Pass option: This refers to the fact that the fluorescing dye can be applied to a
separate panel of HDP Film. (Note: First, the YMC ink is applied to a panel of HDP Film;
then, the F and possibly K are applied to a separate panel. If this is not done, the fluorescent
ink tends to mix with the YMC colors and lose its fluorescent qualities; it also tends to
become visible.)
It is recommended that the user use the default “Dual Pass” option if the fluorescent image
is used in places where other dye is used or if the “Invert F panel” option is selected.
Invert F-Panel option: This refers to the ability to cause light or white areas of the image to
fluoresce and dark colors to remain dark on the printed card when exposed to a UV light.
(Note: This was requested because the fluorescent dye color is bright when black light is
applied to it. By default, the dark areas of the image will fluoresce on the card and the lighter
or white areas will have no dye applied.)
The User can select the Invert F-Panel option to cause the black in the design to show as
dark on the card. This option is recommended if the user is printing a photo.
Using the Secure Resin Erase
Resin erase feature - eliminates the personal data traceability on used ribbon panels and
lower the risk of identity theft .
The Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and resin (K) panels are printed like normal. However, prior
to transfer the film is reversed to the previously used film panel and the ribbon is
rewound to the beginning of resin (K) panel.
A white noise image is then printed on the resin (K) panel to the used film panel. The film
and ribbon as then backed up again. The white noise image is the printed again but it
begins at a different point of the film from the first pass.
