CHOOSING THE CORRECT DYE FILM:

Below is a general guide to selec�ng the most suitable film for any typical applica�on. “Scratch” film lays down a so�

film on the card’s surface which can be easily removed by light scrapping.

NOTE:

300YMCKO dye film is generally the appropriate choice for color prin�ng with both single and double-sided

(duplex) printers

.

250YMCKOK dye film is generally preferred for duplex models only as this is more economic when prin�ng color

on side 1 and monochrome on side 2.

1000K and 600KO dye film is o�en used where cost is an important factor.
