The Printer will print onto any card with a clean, level and polished PVC 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 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.

Due to the importance of using™ high-quality blank cards, a factory-approved card stock called UltraCard is available and recommended for best results.

∙UltraCard stock has a glossy PVC laminate on top and bottom and is optically inspected to provide the cleanest, most scratch and debris-

∙reduced cards possible.

∙Two types of these cards are available: UltraCard and UltraCard III.

∙UltraCard stock has a PVC core and offers medium card durability. Recommended: UltraCard III stock has a 40% polyester core and offers high durability.

Both types of UltraCards produce printed images with a glossy, photo- quality finish.
