General Card Information

3.1.1.1

Card Design

The printer will print onto any card with a clean, level, and polished PVC surface.
Important: Composite PVC is recommended over straight PVC for the best results and for ISO
card specification compliance. Single side straight PVC does not conform to ISO compliance at
this time.
3.1.1.2

Card Surface

Suitable cards must have a polished PVC surface free of fingerprints, dust, or any other types of
embedded contaminants.
In addition, cards must have a completely smooth, level surface in order for the printer to achieve
consistent color.
3.1.1.3

Card Coverage

Some types of Proximity cards, for example, have an uneven surface which will inhibit consistent
color transfer.
Likewise, some smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards surface, which also results in
poor color transfer.
