Paper Name: 252 x 750mm
Width: 252
Length: 750
Select now 252 x 550mm
Press "OK"
Under "Device Settings" make the
following settings:
Manual Paper Feed: 252 x
550mm
Density (Print temperature):
100Level (this depends on the
material used, ribbon and
printing foil)
Print Speed: (Printing speed):
LowSpeed (this depends on
the material used, ribbon and
printing foil)
Press "OK"
ATTENTION: the values given here for "Density" and "Print Speed" are for Warp
Moiré and Embossed Moiré in combination with Metallic Print Foils (Gold, Silver).
For other materials and foil colors, these values must be adjusted, see also 3.3.3

Please note that in order to get the best print results, the parameters "Density" and
"Print Speed" have to be set according to the ribbon used and the printing foil used.
Under 3.3.3 you find a table with guideline values.
In general, using coarser material (e.g., warp moiré or embossed moiré) tends to
imprint higher print temperatures and lower speed than using fine material (SuperSatin,
SuperSatin Premium, Poly tapes).
Normally, an operation always uses the same ribbon materials. Thus, this setting only
needs to be optimized once and will only be changed if another ribbon material is to
be embossed.
2.2.3 Setting the Print Size and Print Quality
Under "Properties" of the printer driver, the following settings have to be checked or
made:
Select Schleifenprofi VX and
press the right mouse button.
Select "Printing preferences"
Select "Advanced"
