Introduction and Specifications
Description
• CR-80 edge-to-edge (3.36 in. L x 2.11 in. W / 85.3mm L x 53.7mm W)

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 for the printer to achieve consistent color
coverage. Some types of proximity cards have an uneven surface that inhibits
consistent color transfer.
Some types of smart card chips are raised slightly above the card's surface,
which also results in poor color transfer.
The UltraCard product line, available exclusively as part of HID Global's Fargo
brand secure card issuance solutions, has a long standing reputation among
dealers and end-users for consistent quality in construction.
In addition to blank stock, the UltraCard line is available in a variety of
configurations for magnetic stripe and other anti-counterfeiting features.
UltraCard PVC cards are medium-durability cards for a glossy, photo quality
finish. These cards are clean scratch-free cards for high-quality prints and
extended printhead life.
