Printer Components: Blank Cards
Caution: Never run cards with a contaminated, dull or uneven surface through the
Printer. Printing onto such cards will ultimately lead to poor print quality. Always store the
card stock in its original packaging or in a clean, dust-free container. Do not print onto cards
that have been dropped or soiled.
Type Description
Card Size These Card Printers accept standard CR80 sized cards (3.375L x 2.125W /
85.6mmL x 54mmW) with a thickness of 30 mil to 50 mil (.030/.762mm).
Card
Design
The Printer will print onto any card with a clean, level and polished PVC
surface. (Important: Composite PVC is recommended over straight PVC
for the best results and for ISO card specification compliance. Single-side
straight PVC does not conform to ISO compliance at this time.)
The Printer will print onto any card with a clean, level and polished PVC
surface.
Card
Surface
Suitable cards must have a polished PVC surface free of fingerprints, dust
or any other types of embedded contaminants.
• In addition, cards must have a completely smooth, level surface in
order for the Printer to achieve consistent color Coverage.
• Some types of Proximity cards, for example, have an uneven surface
which will inhibit consistent color transfer.
Likewise, some smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards
surface, which also results in poor color transfer.
