NOTES

Never run cards with a contaminated, dull, or uneven surface through the printer. Printing onto such cards will ultimately lead to poor print quality and will greatly reduce the life of your printhead. In addition, always store your card stock in its original packaging or in a clean, dust- free environment. Do not print onto cards which have been dropped or soiled. Printheads damaged by contaminated or poor quality cards will automatically void the printhead’s factory warranty.

1.Some card stocks, particularly 10 mil card stocks, are surfaced with a thin coating of a talcum based lubricant. This lubricant is intended to keep the cards from sticking to one another, however, the dusty nature of the lubricant will greatly inhibit print quality and may even damage the printer. Do not print onto these types of cards.

2.Avoid using card stock which has a signature pad on the back side of the card. A signature pad will often leave a residue on the top of the card stacked beneath it. This residue will discolor the card’s surface when printed. If a card signature is required, use cards with a matte finish on the reverse side and a polished PVC finish on top. Signatures can be applied to the matte finished side with a permanent ink pen after printing.

3.If printing onto cards with a pre-punched slot, do not print over the area of the card with the punched slot. Printing over this uneven area could damage the printhead. To avoid this area when printing in portrait orientation, select the Punch card size option from within your printer driver setup (see Section 7-B for printer driver information). When selected, this option allows your printer to print up to but not over the punched area of the card. This option does not apply to pre-punched cards intended to be printed and worn in landscape orientation. If you need to print over the entire area of the card, punch the slot after the card has printed.
