      Pamela McculloughAug 25, 2025
      If your Magicard printer is printing cards incorrectly after switching between YMCK and black film, it could be due to a failure to reset the driver settings or a used roll of dye film being fitted. To fix this, ensure that you set the correct driver settings for Colour Format and replace the dye film with a new roll.

      Linda DiazAug 27, 2025
      If your Magicard printer is not recognizing the dye film type, and print colors appear very pale with good black text, it might be due to the dye film being incorrectly loaded or using the incorrect type of dye-film. Try reloading the dye film correctly.

      If cards are failing to feed from the hopper of your Magicard printer and displaying a “Card not found” error message, ensure that the cleaning cassette ‘tacky’ roller is correctly fitted. Remove the cleaning cassette, check that the two small springs are above the ‘tacky roller, and then replace the cleaning cassette.

      Caleb HenrySep 18, 2025

    Why is lamination peeling off cards printed by Magicard Rio 2e Printer?
    • K
      Kelly GarciaSep 14, 2025
      If the lamination patch or overlay is peeling off the card after printing with your Magicard printer, it could be due to the roller temperature being too low, the lamination speed being too fast, or the cards being contaminated with fingerprints or grease. Increase the roller temperature and decrease the lamination speed. Ensure that the cards are clean and dry before lamination.

    Why are laminated cards bent after printing by Magicard Rio 2e?
    • A
      Amy AndersonSep 15, 2025
      If laminated cards are bent or distorted after printing with your Magicard printer, it could be due to the roller temperature being too high, the lamination speed being too slow, the use of unsuitable PVC cards for double-sided lamination, or the cards being too thin. Decrease the roller temperature and increase the lamination speed. Use composite PET/PVC cards for double-sided lamination. The minimum recommended card thickness for laminating is 0.030” (0.76mm).
