Adhesive-Backed Cards
Adhesive-backed cards are printed, and then adhered to contactless 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 print 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 print 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.
Card Handling
These guidelines apply to unprinted cards.

Any debris or particles on the surface of an unprinted card can reduce print quality and
damage the printhead.

Grease or oils, such as oils from your fingers, also reduce print quality. Keep cards completely
clean. Do not touch the print surface of a card with your fingers or hands.

Do not use a rubber band to bind blank cards together.

If you drop a card on the floor, do not insert it into the printer.
