Barcodes not reading or printing out in resin black

Return to printer solutions | Problems with print quality

Written By john.fieldsend 11th Apr 2023

Some badging applications send barcodes as a bitmap image and not a true type font.

To workaround this follow the steps below.

Shut down your badging application.

Go to the start menu
Devices and printers
Right click the printer icon and select printing preferences
Image tab > advanced > change the color correction to Gamma 1
Then go to the card front tab
click the black options button
uncheck pictures use YMC only.

Click OK all the way out.

Reopen your badging application and print.

What customers say about our support...

We ended up not getting the piece repaired due to the cost but support was great about getting back to me which I appreciate.

Printer model: Prima 4

The support team was very responsive and provided the information needed to address the issue.

Printer model: Rio Pro

Overall a good experience. Seemed quite expensive to repair our printer we sent in for RMA considering we could buy a brand new printer (newer model) for half the price..

Printer model: Enduro3e

In all fairness, as my question was the opposite of what MagiCard would like to achieve I wasn't really expecting a comprehensive answer. Even though I did not get a solution to my question, the answer was well formulated and even offered some alternatives inducing the effect the alternative would have to the print quality.
