B.4.3 Warpage

Edges curled down

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 Back Transfer Temperature:

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

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

c.Decrease the appropriate (single or double side) back 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 back 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.
