PRIMA 2e Manual De Usuario

 
In graphic user interfaces all options are shown dynamically as there are card feeding, loading card 
in magazine, card leaving the printer etc. 
 
The printing technology contains printing of the colors as a mixture from Yellow, Magenta and 
Cyan ("Y", "M", "C"). Black ("K"), also known as Carbon black or process black, is often available 
on color ribbons. The reason for the use of Carbon ("K") black is that a full mixture of Yellow, 
Magenta and Cyan results in a dark, but not pure black. As a consequence it is common to print 
strings, barcodes etc. with Carbon ("K") black for achieving a better and sharper impression. 
 
 
The print order per full color site with an YMCK ribbon appears as following: 
 
   Yellow     Magenta      Cyan    Carbon (K) 
 

 

 
 

 
 
 
 
For special needs, we are also offering color ribbons with an additional K field. This is a useful 
option if e.g. a customer needs to print the front of a card in YMCK while on the back of the card 
has to be printed only some text information in K. The CMYKK ribbon enables this process without 
the use of a double patch of YMCK and is very cost saving.
