The page displays the current settings. For all settings, a value of 0 (zero) is equal to no change. The
Color image preview pop-up also appears.
What should I do before changing color settings?
1 Set up your card design, using your card creation application. Make sure that you use all the data you
plan to print in the design, such as a logo, a photo, text, and a barcode. You can use one sample card
or a set (batch) of sample cards.
2 If you use photos, choose one or more photos that are similar to all the photos you plan to use.
3 Determine the priority and requirements for changing color settings. Color settings affect the complete
card and cannot be used to change just one part of the card.
4 Consider the use of a graphics application to change one part of a card if needed. For example, if the
color of the logo is not acceptable when the appearance of photos is best, consider changing the color
of the logo using a graphics application.
5 Load the cards you plan to use in the card cartridge. Card stock can have a big impact on the
appearance of printed cards.
6 Make one or more sample cards with the current settings. The card provides a way to record current
settings and to evaluate the effect of changed settings. Do one of the following:
– In the card creation application, send the sample card(s) to print.
– Click the Print Sample Card button.
7 Use a permanent marker to mark the back of the card(s) with a 1 and the date. If you printed the
sample card from the Color Settings tab, the current settings are printed on the card. If you printed the
sample card from the card creation application, record all settings on the Color Settings page.
