Conducting the Tape Adhesion Test
Step Procedure
5 If the tape test indicates inadequate adhesion, increase the heat setting by 5
degrees, print another card and try the tape test again.
• Once the temperature has been increased 4 times (20 degrees), reset
temperature to default and increase the Dwell Time by .5 second.
• Repeat this process until adequate adhesion is achieved.
• Ensure that the cards (in use) have a surface roughness (Ra) of 60 micro
inches or less.
This information should be available from the card manufacturer.
