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 inhibits consistent
color transfer.
Certain types of smart card chips are raised slightly above the card’s surface,
which also results in poor color transfer.
