Printer Components: Dye-Sublimation Print Ribbons
The Printer requires both specialized and authorized print Ribbons in order to print and
function properly.
Step
Procedure
1
Do not run the cards with a contaminated, dull, or uneven surface through the
Printer.
Caution: Printing onto such cards will ultimately lead to poor print
quality and will greatly reduce the life of the Printhead.
2
Always store the card stock in its original packaging or in a clean, dust-free
container.
3
Do not print onto cards that have been dropped or soiled. (Note: Printhead
damage caused by contaminated or poor quality cards will automatically void the
Printhead's factory warranty.)
4
If printing onto cards with a pre-punched slot, do not print over the area of the
card with the punched slot. (Note: To avoid this area when printing, use the
options in the Overlay / Print Area tab to omit printing in this area, or punch the
slot after the card has printed.)
