Warpage is usually caused by too much energy being transferred to the card, i.e. the temperatures are too hot or the speeds are too slow.

Step 1. Decrease Front Transfer Temperature:

a.Go to the Card Specifications window; see Section B.3.

b.Make a note of the default front transfer temperature settings.

c.Decrease the appropriate (single or double side) front transfer temperature by 5.

d.Click on the OK button.

e.Print a test card; see Section B.3.

f.Examine the test card.

•If there is noticeable improvement, continue decreasing the front transfer temperature by 5, printing a test card, and examining the resulting card. Stop when the problem is corrected or there is no more improvement. If the problem is corrected, no more adjustment is required; otherwise go to Step 2.

•If there is no noticeable improvement, return the temperature to its default setting; and go to Step 2.
