AVALON and AVALON DUO Printer USER MANUAL

5. Choosing the right Cards

Card Material

Not all white plastic cards are the same. For best image quality always use high quality video grade PVC cards.

Pure PVC card stock or laminated PVC/polyester cards are available. The latter are more durable and better suited to heavy use and heat lamination when required. For access control and smart card applications, your dealer should provide the appropriate type for direct to card printing.

For good consistent results, stick to a single variety of good quality cards, such as those available from your Magicard dealer.

Card Size:

•Standard (CR80) = 3.375” x 2.125” (86.5 mm wide x 53.98mm high).

Card Thickness:

•Minimum - 0.020” ( 0.51mm).

•Standard - 0.030” ( 0.76mm).

•Maximum - 0.063” ( 1.60mm).

To obtain good quality prints the card must be:

•Glossy white.

•Free from dirt and grease.

•Free from surface contamination.

•Free from pits and bumps in the surface.

•Free from burrs at the edge of the card.

•Completely flat.

Printable Area of the Card

Both the Rio and Tango printer offer high quality edge to edge (full bleed) printing. Thus the surface of the card may be printed edge to edge.

Dye cut PVC cards typically have an edge roll off (bevel) which can result in a fine white line around the edge of full bleed printed cards.

When setting up your card design using your graphics software on your PC, you should use a maximum page size of 1026 pixels (3.45”/87.5mm) x 642 pixels (2.13”/54mm).

Self-Adhesive Cards

We recommend only self adhesive cards supplied by Ultra Electronics via your Magicard dealership. There are many different types of self-adhesive cards. Thorough investigation and testing has shown that poorer quality or incorrect card types will cause problems in the printer. These problems range from poor image quality, failure to feed from the card hopper and dye-film being cut through to cards getting jammed in the roller mechanism.

Contact Chip Cards

Smart cards must conform to the ISO 7816 specification, with the chip contacts being below the surface of the card. It is unwise to print graphics or text directly adjacent to the chip as image quality may be affected.

Contactless (Proximity) Chip Cards

Proximity cards must be completely flat with no sign of the chip or antenna being visible in the surface of the card.
