New Cards for Color Printing
The
printer
is
designed
to
on
new
card
stock.
If
you
on
cards
twice,
be
careful
to
avoid
getting
dirt,
fingerprints,
or
other
contaminants
on
cards
before
the
second
printing.
Previous
printing
can
interfere
with
printing
and
result
in
cards
that
do
not
have
the
appearance
you
want.
Printing
on
cards
that
previously
have
been
issued
might
introduce
substances
that
interfere
with
card
printing
or
damage
the
printer.
If
a
previously
printed
card
has
been
printed
with
topcoat,
the
card
cannot
be
printed
a
second
time.
Adhesive-Backed Cards
Adhesive
‐
backed
cards
are
printed,
and
then
adhered
to
smart
cards
when
the
card
surface
is
not
flat
enough
to
print.
Use
only
Datacard
adhesive
‐
backed
cards
with
the
printer.
The
printing
surface
(white
side)
of
an
adhesive
‐
backed
card
meets
the
material
requirements
for
use
in
the
printer.
Use
the
following
guidelines:
•
Store
cards
in
a
cool
place
(such
as
a
refrigerator)
to
avoid
adhesive
migration.
•
Clean
the
printer’s
card
tracks
to
remove
any
adhesive
residue.
Use
a
printhead
cleaning
swab
or
isopropanol
and
a
swab
to
remove
the
residue.
•
Fan
cards
before
loading
them
into
the
input
hopper.
•
Use
a
margin
of
at
least
0.05
inch
when
using
adhesive
‐
backed
cards.
•
Do
not
apply
laminator
overlay
material
to
adhesive
‐
backed
cards.
Card Quality Guidelines
Cards
must
meet
the
following
card
quality
guidelines
for
the
printer
to
high
‐
quality
graphics
on
them
successfully.
Card Surface
The
card
must
be
smooth
and
even,
and
free
of
irregularities
such
as
raised
burrs
or
particles
embedded
in
the
surface.
Surface
irregularities
can
cause
printing
voids,
especially
when
printing
edge
to
edge.
