Caution: 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 the Printhead. Always store the card stock in its original packaging or in a clean, dust-free container. Do not print onto cards that have been dropped or soiled. Printhead damage caused by contaminated or poor quality cards will automatically void the Printhead's factory warranty.

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.

 

Certain types of Proximity cards have an uneven surface that will inhibit

 

consistent color transfer.

 

Certain types of smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards surface

 

which also results in poor color transfer.
