Media (InTM)
A thin flexible material coated with a resin material into which
the dye is transferred from the Ribbon by the Printhead. The film

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

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.
