The holographic topcoat
shows irregular darker areas. The temperature for applying
the holographic topcoat is too
high, causing topcoat
particles (flash). These
particles can become
attached to a card. Attempt to brush the particle
off the card. The card might
be usable.
Run a laminator cleaning
card and clean particles from
the printer
.
Lower the laminator
temperature for this material
.
Particles of holographic
topcoat appear beyond the
trailing edge of the card. The temperature for applying
the holographic topcoat is too
high, causing excess topcoat
particles (flash). These
particles can move to a card.
Note: Reducing temperature
can lessen the number of
particles; it will not eliminate
them.
Attempt to brush the particle
