Getting the most out of your printer
To get the best quality cards and to maintain printer performance, follow these tips for success:
• Use the best quality cards available with a smooth, glossy PVC surface and print them only
once. Make sure options, such as a signature panel or a magnetic stripe, are high quality.
• Match the card design and the supplies you use to obtain the results you want.
— Edge to edge printing requires high-quality cards and can require fine-tuning the printer
(using the Smart Driver) and the card design (using ID software).
— Avoid placing an image or important data on the other side of the card from a magnetic
stripe, smart card chip, or signature panel.
— Locate bar codes at least 0.25 inches from other printing and from the edge of the card.
Make sure the color used to print the bar code works in your bar code readers.
— Do not print closer than 0.1 inch from a signature panel, magnetic stripe, or smart card
chip. Obtain information from your card manufacturer about card features and placing
design elements on the card.
— Do not apply topcoat or a patch over a magnetic stripe, signature panel, or smart card
chip. Patch material for use with a magnetic stripe or smart card is available.
— Do not apply topcoat or patch material in a laminator over topcoat applied using print
ribbon.
— Use cards without curled or raised edges when applying topcoat or patch material
using a laminator.
