Why does the print quality change between cards on my Entrust Network Hardware?

How to fix color printing on top of black background issue with Entrust Network Hardware?
To resolve the issue where color printing on top of a black background does not print on the card, change the 100% black background to a color near black. This ensures that it prints using the YMC (color) panels of the print ribbon.
Why is part of the printed image discolored on my Entrust Network Hardware card?
If part of the printed image is discolored, it may be because the cards have fingerprints or other dirt on them, so handle cards carefully. It may also be caused by printing photos over signature panel residue, so design the card to avoid this. Another cause may be that the rollers are dirty or the card packaging contains debris, so run a cleaning card.
What to do if my Entrust Network Hardware printed card has small unprinted areas?
If the printed card has small unprinted areas, it could be due to several factors. Check the cards for scratches, and handle them carefully to avoid further damage. Ensure the cards meet the printer's requirements, as embedded particles, an uneven surface, or burrs on the card edge can cause this issue. Additionally, try running a cleaning card to address dirty rollers or debris from the card packaging.
Why is the printing blurred on my Entrust Network Hardware?
If printing appears blurred, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that the cards you are using have a glossy finish, as matte cards can cause blurring. Second, dirty rollers can also lead to blurred printing; try running a cleaning card to resolve this. Finally, a dirty printhead might be the culprit, so clean the printhead.
