1.3.2 Printer Components: Blank Cards
Type Description
Card Size
The Card Printer accepts standard CR-79 and CR-80 sized cards.
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.
Certain types of Proximity cards have an uneven surface that will inhibit consistent
color transfer.
• Certain types of smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards surface
which also results in poor color transfer.
UltraCard™
