The monochrome printing has flaws
Problem Probable Cause Solution
Text has broken (partly
printed) characters.
The monochrome (K)
power setting is
balanced to print both
fine text and bar
codes.
If the card does not include a bar code,
increase the monochrome intensity. If the
card includes fine text and bar codes,
change the text to improve printing. See
“Monochrome Printing” .
The text is formatted to
print with color, and
the card is being
printed with
monochrome ribbon.
Contact your service provider. Format
text to print black so the text is not
dithered.
Printing is uneven or is
missing in some areas.
The monochrome (K)
power setting is too
low. The cards require
a different setting.
Increase the monochrome intensity. Find
a balance between printing all card data
and causing wrinkles.
A black-and-white
image prints using the
color panels.
The Windows Picture
Print Wizard or Picture
and Fax Viewer is
printing the file. Many
applications use the
Windows tool to
preview and print
graphics. The tool does
not render to true black
and white.
Use another application, such as ID
software or MS Word, to create the card.
