User’s Guide for the ImageCard® IV Printer
StickiCards
StickiCards™ adhesive-backed plastic cards, part number 597640-001, can be used.
StickiCards are used to make personalized cards that can be adhered to proximity
cards when the card surface is not flat enough to print. The printing surface of the
StickiCard (white side) meets the material requirements for use in the printer.
When using StickiCards, follow these guidelines:
•
Store cards in a cool place (such as a refrigerator) to avoid adhesive migration.
•
Fan cards before loading them in the card cartridge.
•
Clean the printer’s card tracks often to remove any adhesive residue. The
printhead cleaning pen or an isopropyl alcohol swab will remove the residue.
•
Use a print margin of 0.1 or 0.05 inch with StickiCards.
•
Do not apply material to StickiCards using a topcoat or overlay (laminator) station.
Contactless smart cards
Contactless smart cards are also called RF (radio frequency) cards and proximity
cards. Contactless smart cards can have an irregular surface where the internal
components of the card are located. You might modify the card design to avoid
printing photos or other images over the internal components of the card.
Pre-punched cards
Datacard recommends that you punch cards after printing them. However, you can
use pre-punched cards with the ImageCard IV printer as long as the hole is free of
raised areas or burrs.
Figure B-3
shows where punched areas are not allowed.
Figure B-3: Pre-punched card block-out areas
The dimensions show how far from the edge any punched areas must be (dimensions
include any tolerance):
•
The cards cannot have a punched area closer than 0.2 in (0.51 cm) from the left-
hand edge (as loaded in the card cartridge).
•
The cards cannot have a punched area closer than 0.45 in (1.14 cm) from the
right edge (as loaded in the card cartridge).
•
If the card has a magnetic stripe, the card cannot be punched anywhere in the
stripe.
